Re: AW: polyphonic layout

[Mats Bengtsson]

Why do you have a separate <<{...} \\ {...} >> for each bar?
(I agree that it might make the input more readable). Otherwise,
you can save some typing by

    lower = \relative c
    {
       \clef bass
       \key b \major
       \time 6/8
   
      << { \slurDown \override Rest #'staff-position = #2
           r4 <d b'>8 ( <g d'>4. ) |
           r4 <d b'>8 ( <g d'>4. ) |
           r4 <es a>8 ( <g c>4.  ) } \\
         { g,2. | g2. | g2. |} >>
    }

Notice also how you can specify the position of the rest.
