Re: note head direction not automatically rearranged for two adjacent pitches when two voices are used instead of a chord

2022-05-25 Thread Soo Lee
I did try \partCombine but it doesn't work for me. I need a more manual
control because of subtle differences between the two voices (e.g. grace
notes and voice-specific ties and slurs). For example, the notes in the
example below are not auto-merged as chords because of these differences.

instrumentOne = {
\time 3/4
\relative c'' { \partial 4 gis4( e'2. dis) c8[ d e \acciaccatura g f g f] }
}
instrumentTwo = {
\time 3/4
\relative c'' { \partial 4 gis4~ gis2. fisis e8[ f g a b a] }
}
<<
\new Staff \partCombine \instrumentOne \instrumentTwo
>>

Re: note head direction not automatically rearranged for two adjacent pitches when two voices are used instead of a chord

2022-05-24 Thread Soo Lee
I isolated these notes to create a tiny example, but the context suggests
that it makes more sense to view them as two voices. This is a Chopin piece
and unlike e.g. Bach, two voices often are expressed like a chord. I
wanted to avoid going back and forth between one voice and two voices too
often.
I guess it is possible to just use a chord in this case. I'll try to think
about other work-arounds. However, I think an ideal behavior would still be
to automatically rearrange the note head direction in a case like this.

fingering of a grace note overlaps with beam

2022-05-22 Thread Soo Lee
Hi,

In the example below, the fingering on the grace note B does not show well
because it overlaps with the beam. I do want to keep the stems up and the
fingering up because there will be another voice. What is the best way to
avoid this overlap? Thank you!

\relative c'' {
g8[ \acciaccatura b-5 a g]
}

Best,
Soo


piano sustain pedal between notes

Hi

Is it possible to put a sustain pedal off between notes? It is common to
have a pedal between notes. Thank you!

note head direction not automatically rearranged for two adjacent pitches when two voices are used instead of a chord

2022-05-22 Thread Soo Lee
\new Staff<<\new Voice = "first"  { \voiceOne g'4 }\new Voice=
"second"  { \voiceTwo \stemUp f'4 }>>

This example shows G and F note heads are drawn in an overlapping way.
I did not want to use a chord but wanted them to be merged to look
like a chord. Is there an option to do this?

Thank you!


Best,

Soo
