Yes, you perfectly understood me. But using chords is totally impractical for me as I already have the individual voices as LilyPond code.
I tried as you described below and I'm getting a little closer. However, there are still some problems, one of which you can see in the attached example: the final chord consisting of two eighth notes actually looks like a sixteenth note chord. \override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t is just to suppress the collision warnings, right? Regards, Tobias % example \version "2.12.3" global = { \clef treble \time 2/2 \key g \dorian } soprano = \relative c''' { \voiceOne g4 g d4. e8 | } alto = \relative c'' { \voiceOne b4 c b4. c8 | } tenor = \relative c'' { \voiceTwo g4 g g2 | } \score { \new Staff << \global \override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t \new Voice { \soprano } \new Voice { \alto } \new Voice { \tenor } >> }
