You make it too easy! Perhaps Andrew did just forget that durations
are copied from the previous note, but my guess was that he treated
* as a multiplier and not a scaling. (And he wouldn't be the first.)
In many situations it doesn't matter, but not in all.

Cheers,

Andrew,

The last duration in the treble staff is 4*16 i.e. four whole notes
with a quarter note head.
The first note in the next voice (in the bass staff) inherits this length.

Use this:

bass = {
\clef bass
\time 4/4
c1   % set duration explicitly
c c
}

Regards
Helge

Try replacing s4 * 16 with
s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4
and see what you get...

Confused about line breaking

2016-02-22 Thread Andrew Bernard
While trying to concoct a minimal example for my question about staff-staff 
spacing, I find I am confused. In the attached example, why are the bass notes 
spaced apart by the number of spacers in the voice for line breaking? I woild 
have thought they would be consecutive.

Furthermore, if I put the ‘line-breaking’ voice before the voice for notes, it 
shows this problem in the treble. Clearly there is something very basic here 
that I am not understanding.
