Evan, Never used <<{ } { }>>. Tried to locate it in the manual – no success. Your question must be answered by someone with more knowledge of the code than I.

Those seem to work the same as collating the corresponding notes in chords.

Mark From: lilypond-user [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+carsonmark=address@hidden] On Behalf Of Evan Driscoll Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2019 8:54 PM To: Lilypond-User Mailing List <address@hidden> Subject: Aesthetics question -- how would you typeset this? I've got a couple measures that I'm struggling to even figure out what I want the result from Lilypond to be. I've pasted the snippet below. As picky connoisseurs of good notation, I'm wondering what other people would do or like to see. :-) I'm leaning toward the second option but am uncertain. As a bonus question on Lilypond itself -- what are the differences between << { g bf g a ... } { g, g g g } >> <g g,> <bf g,> <g g,> <a g,> in this context? Aside from the octave changes working relative to different notes, is there any difference? When should I prefer one to another? \language "english"
