Re: Hairpins in Polyphony

[Jay Hamilton]

Ok Neil's second suggestion "voices" worked but I don't understand why it works 
and why \\ 
should be avoided (or why to avoid \\ when it's all over the documentation as 
the way to do polyphony ) and why the original way I tried it is not the way
it can work?

Yours-
Jay

Ah, yes, the separate voices.

I usually avoid the <<\\>> construct.

Try it with <<{}\new Voice {\voiceTwo}>> like so:

<<{b8 cis d4-.\> cis-.}\new Voice {\voiceTwo .... }>>
