Re: Shifted notehead won't merge with same pitch from other voice

[Javier Ruiz-Alma]

What are the odds, step-by-step documentation on typesetting the exact bar and edition I'm working on   !!!(O-O)!!!

Thanks for the pointers.

I had also tried to replace the notehead directly, but due to operator error, I picked the wrong glyph from the list (notehead.s2 instead of notehead.s1)...no wonder I got no visible change.

The Learning Manual example yields the correct midi duration and shows the extra voice in code...so, elegance it is.

I'm typesetting the attached music using four voices.  However, a shifted quarter note refuses to merge with the half-note from other voice. I suspect it has to do with both having same stem direction, but how does one tell LP to merge anyway? Force-shifting notecolumn didn't seem to do the trick.

If you really want to reproduce your image you'll have to do something bad like :

%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.18.2"

\relative c' {

\key g \minor

<<

{ c8[

\once \override NoteHead.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print

\once \override NoteHead.text = \markup\musicglyph #"noteheads.s1"

d fis bes^( a)] }

\\

{ \once\hideNotes c,8_~ c2 }

\\

{ \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn s4 \stemDown fis4. }

>>

}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

But, as Urs, I'll encourage you to copy the Learning Manual example which is much more elegant.

Cheers,
