Re: Why will this tie not work?

[David Fedoruk]

Sorry Neil, that last reply got sent before I was finshed writing it.
This is the code I just tried:

\version "2.11.27"
\include "english.ly"
   upper = \relative c'' {
        \clef treble
        \key e \major
        \time 3/4
                \mark "Allegro"

        ef[d ef f g af ]                |       % bar 65
        g[ bf \grace af16 g8 f ef df ]  |       % bar 66
           \grace bf16 \stemUp  cf2  af'4~ |
\new Voice      { \stemDown      cf,2.                  |  }    % bar 67,68
         af'8[ af gf f bf af ]  |
        gf[bf \grace af16 gf8 f ef df ] |       % bar 69

        
     lower = \relative c {
        \clef bass
        \key e \major
        \time 3/4

                ef4 ef, r4                                      |               
% bar 66
                r8 af'8[f d cf af ]                             |               
% bar 67
                bf,,2.                                          |               
% bar 68
                ef4 r4 r                                                |       
        % bar 69


     }

     \score {   
        \new PianoStaff <<
           \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = "Piano  "
           \new Staff = "upper" \upper
           \new Staff = "lower" \lower
        >>
        \layout { }
                
        \midi { }
                
     }


This new code also does not add the tie even though it is much simpler to write.

Cheers,
David
