Re: How to typeset a voice cross over mark on a piano staff ?

[Harald Christiansen]

OK, I managed to put together a hack

(based on an idea from Simon: simple voice construct, hiding second voice)

Looks to me as a rather ugly hack ;-) but at least I got what I wanted in a relatively simple form.

% insert a courtesy voice cross over sign: melody changes from RH to LH (this is _not_ a glissando) 

   <<

       { a4 r4 } \\

       { \hideNotes \once \override Glissando.style = #'dashed-line a4 \glissando \change Staff = "lower" f4 }

   >> 

Thanks to all

Cheers,

Harald

Hi Simon

Thanks for your reply.

I don't think I understand your solution.

Are you suggesting to add a new voice trough all the score for just one sign in one place?

(I tried to add a new voice locally but I couldn't figure it out, it created a horrible mess even with \cadenzaOn)

PS. I am always replying to the list, not "Reply All" because then people who replied to the thread would receive 2 copies (one personal, one to the list)

Regards,

Harald

It is NOT one voice in the technical meaning of Lilypond ... it is more virtual, so to speak.

Then you still need one voice that changes staves, because a VoiceFollower is definitely the right thing to use, and easiest as well. Maybe try an extra voice with \hideNotes?
Also, please keep communication on-list (using Reply All) always. Others may be interested in the solution, or able to help out more competently than I.

Best, Simon
