Re: Ties, Slurs, and Voices Again!

Pierre, is there a way to combine voice two and three on one stem?

Thomas, thanks, that works.  Did you come up with those numbers by trial and error?

Hi Knute,

you may want to try the \shape-command:

\version "2.18.2"

\language "english"

 <<
  { bf'8 ( [ ef'' ] c'' ) }
  \\
  {
  <<

   \shape #'((1 . 1.8) (0.7 . 2.2) (-0.1 . 2.05) (-0.1 . 2.0)) Slur
   { g'4( af'8 ) }

   { ef'4 ~ ef'8 }
  >>
  }
 >>

HTH,
