As both cases have the same stem direction one has to be shifted.
Usually if you want two voices you either give them separate staves,
or give one the \voiceOne and the other the \voiceTwo appellations.
Ah! I didn't notice this because I'm reproducing a chant without any
note stems.
However, even after adding \voiceOne and \voiceTwo I'm still seeing the
double articulation. It's harder to see (because the articulation on
the lower note tends to collide with the higher note) but it's still
there (see first articulated note below in voiced staff).
Changes are to use the `natural' articulation direction (- instead of
^)
I forced the up direction on the articulations because when I used the
natural articulation direction in chord construction the articulations
appeared below the chord (see third articulated note below in chorded
staff). In the piece I'm reproducing, however, the articulations were
above the notes. Further, this switch still results in double
articulations: one above and one below (see second and third articulated
note below in voiced staff).
To reproduce the articulations I've got, I need it to always appear over
the top note (the piece doesn't have any notes higher than bflat').
As an aside, dutch note names and \relative make data entry MUCH
faster.
I tried both of these before and found the resulting code much harder to
read. I don't speak Dutch and so the Dutch note names don't seem
natural to me ("is" and "es" are too similar to stay distinct). Also,
in relative mode I had lots of trouble telling just exactly which note I
was entering (I'd often have to go back and reset the score because I'd
made a mistake and entered the note in the wrong octave). As a result
I've made a deliberate choice for clarity over speed. It's purely a
personal preference, but this is what makes my life easier.
And I prefer to have bars present in a
longer piece, to allow line breaking and to allow bar checks to be
added in the source, so as to not lose myself when making amendments.
I don't disagree, but I'm working on a non-metrical piece with arbitrary
bar lines. As a result I can't depend on the normal bar checking
mechanisms and have to introduce them manually. Stripping down to a
tiny example hides this (as I've only included a single "measure" in the
example).
