Re: Is there an easy solution to across voice slurs

[Eby Mani]

I find << { } \\ { } >> approach bit confusing when there are plenty of 
multiple voices. Eluze have provided easiest alternative when multiple voices 
span few bars.

For me the easiest and best approach is by separating voices in a staff and 
combining them together. I find this easy to modify the code and add ties & 
slurs between multiple voices on the same staff. Remove the comments in note 
entry to see the difference.

The following example is suitable for larger works spanning several pages.

***********************

\version "2.16.2"

global = {
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
}


violinOnea = \relative c'' {
c2 (e \hideNotes c) \unHideNotes d4 c
}

violinOneb = \relative c'' {
c,4 d e f %%\stemUp 
c'2 
%%\stemNeutral s2
}

violinTwoa = \relative c' {
c2 (e c)  d4 c
}

violinTwob = \relative c' {
c,4 (d e f \hideNotes c'2 \unHideNotes s2)
}

\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
        \context Staff = upper <<
                \context Voice = violinsa { \voiceOne \global \violinOnea }
                \context Voice = violinsaa { \voiceTwo \global \violinOneb }
                                                        >>
        \context Staff = lower <<
                \context Voice = violinsb { \voiceOne \global \violinTwoa }
                \context Voice = violinsbb { \voiceTwo \global \violinTwob }
                                                        >>
                        >>

\layout { }
}
