RE: Octave shifts in polyphonic setting

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Jogchum,

I encountered the same when setting multi-voiced fugues and using the 
<<{  }\\{   }\\{  }>> construct. Is that what you use?

My solution is to set each voice explicitly, e.g.,

\new Voice = "soprano"
     { \voiceOne \relative c'' {
              f4 f f f }
     }
     
 \new Voice = "alto"
     { \voiceTwo \relative c'' {
       
       aes4 aes aes aes }
     }

Subject: Octave shifts in polyphonic setting

Hi,

When entering a piece of music with some one-, some two- and some
three-voiced bars, quite often notes in previous bars go up or down an
octave, when entering new bars.
Restoring this from the first bars affected by adding or deleting
apostrophes or comma's, sometimes lead again to side effects. Rather
frustrating...

Is there a way to prevent this?

regards, Jogchum Reitsma
