well what he posted .. The top looks like the bottom does! on "2.18.2"

so i guess it's a "2.19.22" issue

I tested it on lilybin and this works in "2.19.21.... for your example anyway. not sure of "2.19.22" as i don't have it


\version "2.19.21"

Well, this is clearly a hack. I’m surprised that Lily doesn’t complain. More precisely: it’s improper to use two voices and fake the look of one voice by tweaking stem direction. And it won’t work in any but the simplest cases. Also: please, for the sake of legibility, please put spaces around _every_ { and = and \\. The \\ should get a line of its own, unless the entire <<>> _expression_ is placed on one line. It’s just imprudent to be so greedy with space at the expense of legibility, and if you’re publishing your code, it’s not a matter of your personal preference alone.
