Re: staff polyphony, collisions between ties and beams

Dear Trevor,

thanks for Your proposal.
It looks much better and I will find the right settings!

Hi Stephan

 

I think it's a matter of finding the least-ugly arrangement which make it clear to the pianist what is intended.  Perhaps lower the beams slight and move the tuplet brackets up a little to make room for the ties.  You could reshape the ties a little, but I don't think this improves it much.  Play with this:

 

\version "2.18.2"
first = { 
%  \shape #'((0 . 0) (0 . 0.5) (0 . 0.5) (0 . 0)) Tie
  cis''''1  ~ cis''''1  ~ cis''''\fermata \bar"|."  }

 

 second = {
   \voiceTwo    s2
   \voiceThree
   \override TupletBracket padding = 1.7
   \override Beam positions = #'(4.8 . 4.8)
   \tuplet 3/2 { a'''8 a''' a''' }  \tuplet 3/2 { a'''\rest[
a''' a'''\rest] }
 d''4\rest  \tuplet 3/2 { e'''8\rest a''' a''' } \tuplet 3/2 { a'''[
a'''\rest a'''] }   e'''4\rest

 

 }
 third = {   \ottava #1  \voiceThree  f'''2 \rest   \voiceFour   fis'''2
~  fis'''1  ~ fis'''\fermata  }

 

 alltogether = {
<< {   \voiceOne \first  } \new Voice { \second } \new Voice { \third }
\new Voice { \voiceFour \transpose c' c \first } >> \oneVoice
 }

 

 \score {
 \new Staff \alltogether
 }

Subject: staff polyphony, collisions between ties and beams

Dear community,

I find it difficult to engrave the following three bars.

How can I avoid collisions between beams and ties?

Here is the snippet:

\version "2.18.2"
first = {  cis''''1  ~ cis''''1  ~ cis''''\fermata \bar"|."  }

 second = {
   \voiceTwo    s2
   \voiceThree \tuplet 3/2 { a'''8 a''' a''' }  \tuplet 3/2 { a'''\rest[ a''' a'''\rest] }
 d''4\rest  \tuplet 3/2 { e'''8\rest a''' a''' } \tuplet 3/2 { a'''[ a'''\rest a'''] }   e'''4\rest
 
 }
 third = {   \ottava #1  \voiceThree  f'''2 \rest   \voiceFour   fis'''2  ~  fis'''1  ~ fis'''\fermata  }
 
 alltogether = {  
<< {   \voiceOne \first  } \new Voice { \second } \new Voice { \third } \new Voice { \voiceFour \transpose c' c \first } >> \oneVoice
 }
 
 \score {
 \new Staff \alltogether
 }
