Hi Tim,
Could you mail the file to me as an attachment, I can't seem to
access the file from gnu.org?
Sounds like things are moving on for you :D
Cheers,

Hi,
OK, I have made 2 changes to your file:
First, so that new voices always get the aikenHeads by default, I've
removed the \aikenHeads setting from \global and added the following
to \layout:
\context {
\Voice
shapeNoteStyles = ##(do re mi fa #f la ti)
}
This adds the \aikenHeads definition to the default Voice.
So when using the <<\\>> notation, any new Voices created get
aikenHeads by default.
The reason that you weren't getting the tenor and bass parts together
was that they should be encapsulated in << >>.
So you now have:
<<
\new Voice = tenor {
\global
\PartsThree
}
\new Voice = bass {
\global
\PartsFour
}
>>
instead of :
\global
\PartsThree
\PartsFour
Regards,
Ralph
