Re: Confused about line breaking

[Helge Kruse]

Andrew,

The last duration in the treble staff is 4*16 i.e. four whole notes
with a quarter note head.
The first note in the next voice (in the bass staff) inherits this length.

Use this:

bass = {
    \clef bass
    \time 4/4
    c1   % set duration explicitly
    c c
}

Regards
Helge
