Re: How to tie the last note of one variable to the first note of another variable?

[Jürgen Ibelgaufts]

Hi,

you may tie the e note in partOne to a e1*0 note, like this:

partOne = \relative c' {
    c4 e g e~ e1*0
}

I did not yet understand why this works, but it does, even in more complex
situations like ties across voices. Note that the e1*0 note must have the
same value as the e1 note in partTwo.

Earlier on, I got advice from this forum to either move the tieEngraver from
voice context to staff context. This works, but has side effects if you have
parallel voices -- I could not manage having two voices printed in different
colors, the ties would always print in the same color. The other solution
was adding hidden notes with \hideNotes, with other side effects.

Cheers
Jürgen
