Re: How to tie into a bar with split voices

Hi,                 I’m trying to get a tie to cross the barline into a split voice measure. I have tried with and without the \voiceOne command but cannot get this to work. Can any one help me?

There are several issues with your syntax.

• Outcomment the \voiceOne command,
• Remove \stemUp and \stemDown. They're not useful, as \voiceOne and \voiceTwo take care of stem directions automatically.
• Do not put a \\ separator when using this syntax. The \\ separator instructs LilyPond to create the voices (with \voiceOne, etc.) implicitly. Here, you're doing it explicitly.
• It should be \new Voice { ... } and not { \new Voice ... }.
• You should put \oneVoice after the << >> construct in order to reset the stem direction to be computed automatically. Otherwise, since your voice continued from the { \voiceOne ... } part, it's still in \voiceOne, which forces stem to point up.

Here is the complete code:

\version "2.24.1"

\score {
  \relative c'' {
    \clef "treble" \key f \major \time 6/8
    c4 r8  f,4. 					| % 2
    f2.~ 					| % 3
    <<
      {
        \voiceOne
        f4 g8 a4 bes8				| % 4
        c2.~					| % 5
        c4
      }
      \new Voice {
        \voiceTwo				% Voice = "2"
        r4 r8 f,4 f8				| % 4
        a2.~					| % 5
        a4
      }
    >>
    \oneVoice
    a8  a4  a8

  } %end relative
} %ens score

Best,

Jean
