Hi Jay,
Ok Neil's second suggestion "voices" worked but I don't understand
why it works
and why \\ should be avoided
Read the doc section on "Explicitly instantiating voices" — that will
explain it.
(or why to avoid \\ when it's all over the documentation as the way
to do polyphony )
That's a doc bug, as I've mentioned on this list many times… In fact,
I consider it a Lilypond bug, in that the shorthand
<< a \\ b >>
should (IMO) automatically become
<< { \voiceOne a } \new Voice { \voiceTwo b } >> \oneVoice
rather than what it currently does.
Regards,
Kieren.
