Re: making a tie between voices

[Simon Albrecht]

Hi Ryan,

I’m sorry that I first have to say this: It’s way too difficult to work 
with an example like you gave. Please reread 
<http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html> – your example at least lacked 
a \version statement and some closing >> (the latter may be due to a 
wrongly configured e-mail setup, either send your e-mail as plain text 
right away or attach lilypond code so it won’t get messed with).

Also, please reread the Learning Manual, especially the part on voices. 
\stemUp and \stemDown are inappropriate for this use case, instead you 
need the \voiceXXX and \oneVoice commands.

For now I have made a guess on what you want to achieve and hope this helps:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18"

\new Staff <<
  \new Voice {
    \voiceOne
    c''16 e''16~
    % normally you’d use
    % \hideNotes
    % which is intended for exactly this purpose of
    % faking cross-voice spanners.
    % However here it causes the dot to disappear,
    % which we need.  So instead, we do
    \once\omit Stem
    e''4.
  }
  \new Voice {
    \voiceTwo
    c''8~ \oneVoice <c'' e''>4.
  }
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Best, Simon
