The force-hshift seems to do the trick, thanks!

Hi Knute,

I'm engraving Chopin's Prelude No. 1 in C and I'm having trouble

That seems to be an issue with the shifting mechanisms for simultaneous
upwards-facing (\voiceOne, \voiceThree) voices.
Compare:
\new Staff {
\voices 1,3,4 <<
r4 \\
{ f'8 e' f' c' } \\
{ c'8 c' c' c' }
>>
}
\new Staff {
\voices 1,3,4 <<
{ g''8 g''8 g'' g'' } \\
{ f'8 e' f' c' } \\
{ c'8 c' c' c' }

}
\new Staff {
\voices 1,3,4 <<
{ g''8 g''8 g'' g'' } \\
{ f'8 e' f' \tweak NoteColumn.force-hshift 0 c' } \\
{ c'8 c' c' c' }
>>
}
I'm not sure if the force-hshift tweak is the definitive way to do it,
but it also helps in your example.

Re: Getting voices to merge in a complex measure
Yes, exactly, but was just trying anything to see if it had any effect. Brain storming.

RE: Getting voices to merge in a complex measure
Knute, I did also. Could it be the result of the scaling? That is the notes, by Lilypond's view, are in different columns and therefore cannot be merged.

RE: Getting voices to merge in a complex measure
Knute, In an older version of Lilypond two merge commands were present: "different dotted" (that you used) and "different headed" (which might be helpful) Mark -Original Message- From: lilypond-user [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=ca.rr@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Knute Snortum Sent: Friday, May 6, 2022 "1:57 PM To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: Getting voices to merge in a complex measure Hello everyone, I'm engraving Chopin's Prelude No. 1 in C and I'm having trouble getting two voices to merge.

Getting voices to merge in a complex measure
Hello everyone,
I'm engraving Chopin's Prelude No. 1 in C and I'm having trouble
getting two voices to merge. It's the two lower d's in the last 16th
of the measure. I've attached the source code and a picture of what
it looks like. The second picture is how I would like it to look. I
have notes in the source code that document some of what I discovered
fooling around with the notes.
Any help would be appreciated.
