Re: Matching stems/slurs on mutliple voices

[Hans Forbrich]

Thanks.  Unfortunately I still have a few glitches in the areas I had 
identified as
problems.  Please be patient, as I am a novice at this ... I'd be grateful for 
assitance
interpreting the docco or the methods:

1) For some reason I can not suppress the dots from the colliding notes.. I 
thought
\property Voice.Dots \set #'transparent = ##t would suppress the ones I do not 
want, but
that does not seems to be the case.  I do notice that Dot is in context Thread 
(inside
Voice) - does this mean I need to set up a Thread  context to manipulate the 
dots?

2) I can adjust the stem using Voice.Stem properties.  Although they seem  to 
be relevant,
I do not understandf the following (found at
http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Stem.html#Stem)

- flag-style (symbol) ... what are valid values for symbol (better yet, where 
do I find
out?)
- length (number) ... what does the 'number' mean (staff spaces, points, inches,
millimeters?)
- lengths (list) ... does this mean a stem with no flags is length 3.5, 1 flag 
is 3.5, etc?

3) Since this entire question is related to collisions, should I be looking at 
the
Collision_engraver and the NoteCollision grobs (Staff context)?  If so, this 
will require a
diffeent level of understanding from what  I have right now; for example, I 
assume
merge-differently-dotted would help, but how do I 'position' this around a 
specific set of
colliding grobs without affecting the rest of the system?  Any examples?

Again, many thanks for the help so far
/Hans
