Hello:

When everything fails, put it away, go to bed, sleep, and in the
morning start again. I did. This morning  I madde a new duplicate of
my file so I started back where I was when I first posted this
problem. I commented out the problematic code and went to
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Explicitly-instantiating-voices#Explicitly-instantiating-voices >
.That is the documentation page for this type of polyphony. I copied
the tags and structure there leaving out the third voice since I only
needed two. This is my code:

---- Snip ----


        \voiceOne
<<
                                { \grace bf16 \stemUp cf2 af'4~ | }
                                \context Voice="1" { \voiceTwo cf,2. | }
>>
\oneVoice


----- End Snip -----

This reproduces exactly what I want --- except for the ite.

Neil, I hope this is what you were getting at.

Well, that's almost the same as what I posted above, except that the first \voiceOne is redundant due to the \grace. That's why I suggested putting \voiceOne after the \grace section, rather than using \stemUp.

Regards,
Neil
