Re: Can't seem to merge note groups

[Michiel Sikma]

Thanks so much Pierre and Abraham!

I'm just a beginner but intuitively, it would seem that in my example both notes should merge. It might be a bug.

In Pierre's case there's also a need to temporarily silence the "too many clashing notes" warning. Abraham's doesn't need the second voice at all, so it's perhaps the most simple example.

Here's another alternative that shows how you can change the displayed notehead by changing its duration-log property:

On the other hand, it seems that there is a bug here that should be fixed because the top notehead is merging like it should, but not the bottom one.

Best,

Abraham

Hi Michiel,

How about :

....

    {
        \once\override NoteHead.stencil = ##f
        <c c'>8_[ d e d] }
        \new Voice {
          \voiceTwo
          <c c'>2
    }

...

Cheers,

Hi all,

I've been trying to solve a markup problem from a section of Chopin's Ballade No.1, which I'm typesetting to teach myself Lilypond. It's going pretty well but I'm having a problem with note merging. Here's an example of what I want - http://i.imgur.com/c2ZzfUm.png - and here's a simplified version of what I have so far - http://lilybin.com/64zsk1/3

I just can't seem to find out how to make this work, although it works just fine when not using a note group (e.g. just c8 and c2 instead of <c c'>). For example, the main theme also has a half note merged into eighth notes, and I was able to get that working with this method.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. If the method is significantly different from merging single notes, it might be good to have an example up in the manual. I'd be willing to write up an example using the real music as subject, if I can understand how this works.
