Re: Voice / slur problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

The easiest solution is to exploit the clever trick provided  in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-01/msg00359.html
Then, there is no need to keep both ends of a tie in the same Voice
context. You should also read the section on "Explicitly instantiating
voices" to understand why the slurs didn't work when you used the
<< ... \\ ... >> construct. Here's one version of your code that hopefully
is closer to what you wanted.

Notice that there's no need to use a \book block in your file (unless you
want more than a single output PDF file from the same input .ly file,
in which case you should have one \book block for each output PDF).
Following your .jpg example, I also added a \stemDown.

%%%%%%%%%%%% begin snippet %%%%%%%%%

%Section test
\version "2.10.0.1"
\include "english.ly"
\header {
   instrument = "Piano"
   }

%Right hand
pianoRH = \context Voice = "one"
         {
         \voiceOne
         \clef treble
        \time 3/2
        \tempo 4=112
%Measure 5
         \time 4/4 \stemDown
         \change Staff = "bass"
         b,16\mf( fs b d'
         \change Staff = "treble"
         fs'16\< b' d'' fs''\!)~
         <<
         \new Voice {fs'' r8. }
         \change Staff = "bass"
         {g16( b d' g'}
         >>
         \change Staff = "treble"
         b'16 d'' g'' b'') |
         }

%Left hand
pianoLH = \context Voice = "three"
         {
         \voiceTwo
         \clef bass
%Measure 5
        s1 |
         }

\layout {
 \context {
   \Staff
   \consists "Tie_engraver"
 }
 \context {
   \Voice
   \remove "Tie_engraver"
 }
}
\score {
     \context PianoStaff <<
     \context Staff = "treble" <<
     \pianoRH
     >>
     \context Staff = "bass" <<
     \pianoLH
     >>
     >>
}
