The next about 12-14 hours I can't further mail, but for now a little
more precise: My example was

  <c ees>4 <c ees> << { ees8. d16 } \\ b4 >> c

1. If both of the parts BEFORE and AFTER the double back slash contain
   more than one note, it's necessary to put it in {}.

2. You have to take care, which length You've had before the double back
   slash, because without specifiing it new AFTER the double back slash,
   the length from before is valid.

Demonstrating both 1. and 2. the example above might be written as:

  <c ees>4 <c ees> << { ees8. d16 } \\ { b16 b b b } >> c4

Of course, in the Prelude there aren't four sixteenth's b, it's only to
show how it has been to write, if there are more than one note in this
part. As You can see, both parts between {} must have in summary the
same length.

Another point is, that, what You want to be the top note(s), has to be
written before the double back slash, and the bottom note(s) after the
double back slash.

I'll try ... ;-)
