Thanks for the replies, everyone.  David Kastrup wrote: \relative c' takes a music expression as an argument, and in this case, the argument is the parallel music ... . Interesting. Does \voiceXXX take a music expression too? If so, can I set the bounds of the expression with {}?  I don't

How to cancel voice so ties are right direction

This snippet illustrates a problem I'm having. The tie on the g is in the wrong direction after I've finished with the voice split. How do I get the correct tie direction? It looks like the \voices are still in scope wrt ties. Also, why did I lose the \relative c' after the voice split? \score

It tends to feel like the classical case of Somebody Else's Problem, and I am somewhat at a loss of how to deal with that without getting cynical to a degree that those who do support me don't deserve. Man, I feel ya. I started playing around with LilyPond recently. I like it. As someone who

I suppose the situation might be as follows: source code is freely available (on website, github or whatever), but the binaries are not. Anyone tech-savvy enough to serve himself doesn't have to pay, but simple users do have.  I think that if the price was low (say, 5$) nobody might be

I apologize if this question has been asked before. I want to write a full score for big band and somehow overcome the 15 staff limit for midi playback. If I could merge the alto and tenor staves from 4 to 1, and do the same for trumpets and bones, I would have few enough staves for midi
