Subject: ties through parallel construction


Hi all,

In the following construction:

      <d a'>2 ~ <cis a'> ~ {<< \stemDown <d a'> \\ \stemUp {d'4 cis} >>}

the second "tilde" seems to have no effect.  I want to tie the 'a' in
the second chord to the 'a' in the third chord in the parallel bar.
Am I missing something?  How do I tie such a thing through this
construction?  Everything else about this line seems to work properly.

Thanks,

Gordon+

You can't make ties (or slurs) continue into or out of voice changes - you need to arrange it so that all the tied notes exist within a voice, and use spacer rests if necessary in the other voice. Something like:

{
 <<
 { \stemDown <d a'>2 ~ <cis a'> ~ <d a'> }
 \\
 { \stemUp {s2 s2 d'4 cis} }
 >>
}

should do what you want, I think.
