Hi lilypond folks,
The composer is being quite expressive with stems and the notation in general, and I'd really like to replicate it.
Right away I've started running into trouble. On the very first note, we have a doubled b. To a guitarist, that indicates that the note shall be played on more than one string. In lilypond I am having no luck figuring out how to make it do this.
In the second measure, there are three voices. The melody (c' b'), accompaniment (c' b g b') (though the c' and b' are not doubled, those are just two voices sharing a note), and the bass (e,).
Now I'm having the opposite problem as I ran into in the first note... I *don't* want to draw the c' twice, I just want two different stems coming out of it (seems to work ok for the b'). And then with the low e, I can't figure out how to get the half note to align horizontally with the b' from the first two voices. I am pretty sure I'm not just messing up the rhythm in my notation, but I could be wrong.
Can anyone help me here? I'm embedding my .ly file below and attaching a rendered pdf.
Also happy to have my markup style trounced on here, I'm mostly piecing things together from snippets in the lilypond docs.
