Hi Pete,

just as a side note, without wanting to be obnoxious: There’s a lot to be improved about the code formatting in your example. Much of this just improves legibility, other points are generally accepted standards and thus make it easier to read for others, such as the people on the list. Here’s your original example, reformatted:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"

\score {
  \new Staff {
    \clef "treble_8"
    \key b \minor
<cis a cis'>4.\arpeggio e'8~ e'4 \tuplet 3/2 { b8\rest b\rest <gis b(> } \tuplet 3/2 4 { <a cis')>8~ <a cis'> <gis( b\(> <a) cis'\)>~ <a cis'> <gis b> <a cis'>~ q e' } b4\rest
    <<
      {
        <cis a cis'>4.\arpeggio e'8 ~ e'4 \tuplet 3/2 { b8\rest b\rest b( }
\tuplet 3/2 4 { cis'8)~ cis' b\( cis'\)~ cis' b cis'~ cis' e' } b4\rest
      }
      \\
      {
        s2. \tuplet 3/2 { s4 gis8( }
        \tuplet 3/2 4 { a8)~ a gis( a)~ a gis( a8)~ a r }
      }
    >>
  }
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Some issues:
– judicious use of whitespace:
_always_ around { } \\ << >>
having ~ appended directly to the preceding chord or note makes the technical function as post-event clearer
\\ should get it’s own line in most of the cases
– proper indenting (two spaces per level): most conveniently handled by Frescobaldi’s (or ly’s) auto-formatting – s4. s8 s4 is no different from s2. – s4 at the end of a music expression might not make sense – repeated durations may always be omitted (they shouldn’t be at the start of a new line in the code)
– use the \tuplet 3/2 4 {} syntax to avoid always typing individual \tuplets
– use q to avoid respelling identical repeated chords

Best, Simon
