I'm sorry, I think I made a mistake in my previous mail:

In the current Voice context, you should add:

\property Staff.NoteCollision
\override #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
Actually, you should replace the ##t by ##f.

Here is the documentation from the internals about the merge-differently-headed property:

||merge-differently-headed| (boolean):|
Merge
noteheads in collisions, even if they have different note heads. The
smaller of the two heads will be rendered invisible. This used
polyphonic guitar notation. The value of this setting is used by
note-collision-interface 

 .
Default value: (unset)


Thanks in advance for your help.
You're welcome
Michael

Dear Sir or Madam:

I have completed the tutorial and started coding my first piece of 
music.  There is a problem that I cannot find a resolution.  I am 
currently using lilypond to update some of our choir music that was 
written many years ago.  One song is "Eternal Father" and I thought 
this would be a good start for using lilypond.

I actually need to add a total of four voices but I thought it would 
be best to get this notation working correctly before moving on with 
the voices.

Here's my problem:  When I view the music in adobe, all the b, e, a 
and d are shown as naturals.  Obviously these should not be shown as 
flats.  I am attaching the eternal.ly and eternal.pdf files for your 
review.  I'm sure there is a simple solution for this.  Also, I have 
the same problem when I use the \key es \major but not when I use \key 
c \minor.  This one really puzzled me since they both have b flat, e 
flat and a flat.
When you are writing music with lilypond, you HAVE to specify "es" or 
"is" after the name of the note, if you want it to be flat or sharp. If 
not, it's considered as natural. Hence, lilypond is adding the natural 
sign if another scale that c major is defined.
If you want an accidental to be written by caution, you can specify a 
'!' after the note.



How do I get the natural signs to not display?

By the way, I have used other software such as Voyetra's Maestra and 
lilypond has it beat by a long shot.

Also, I have a another question for you:  when working with two voices 
where the voice1 has a quarter note that is a middle c and the voice2 
has a half note that is also a middle c, how to space the notes so 
they do not overlap and look like both voices have a quarter note?  
Maestra cannot do this.  We have several measures where the first and 
second tenor have the same for a different duration.
In the current Voice context, you should add:

\property Staff.NoteCollision
 \override #'merge-differently-headed = ##t

1.  You must show us some of your Lilypond (.ly) so we can help.

2. You probably moce the same mistake that I and others first made.  You 
must use B flat (bes) when you mean B flat.  Lily is not like programs 
like Finale that use the key signature to alter the note.  b -is b 
natural and bes is b flat no mater what the key signature.
