Re: quetion about slur in the "<< .... \\ .....>>"

Hi Harm.

Your example did not work on my system. No idea why not.

The error message mentions an unexpected } at the end. What is bothering LilyPond here?

I would very much like to see and try your solution because I recently have struggled endlessly with slurs in passages with up to six voices in a single staff. Maddening.  

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

Hi,
   I found it difficult to engrave the staff as the fingure:


the "slur" just does not work.
The source is as follows:

\version "2.19.80"
{
   \clef bass
   \time 3/4

   fis-2 ( e-1 d-2 |
   <<
       { r4 ) e4 a8 ( g8  | }
       \\
       { a,2. |  }

   fis4 ) r4 r4
}

<< ... \\ ... >>
is equivalent to
<<
 \context Voice = "1" { \voiceOne ... }
 \context Voice = "2" { \voiceTwo ... }

The exercise is to distribute stuff to Voices properly,
starting/ending Slurs in the same Voice.

One possibility

\version "2.19.80"

\context Voice {
 \clef bass
 \time 3/4

 \context Voice = "2" { fis4-2( e-1 d-2 }
 <<
   { r4 e4 a8( g8 \oneVoice }
   \\
   { a,2.) }

 \context Voice = "1" fis4)
 \context Voice
 r4
 r4
}
