Re: Positioning of a tiny voice

Glad you found a solution!

> Why did you use \voices 1,2 in your example?

Bad coding… Here’s a better snippet (including your \oneVoice fix):

%%%
\version "2.19.83"

upper = \relative {
 \tiny
  s4 b''
}

music = \relative {
 \key e \minor
 \time 2/4
 b'8 <b, e g>16 c' <b, e g b>8 <b e g>16 b'
}

\new Staff { \voices 1,3 << { \oneVoice \music } \\ { \shiftOff \upper } >> }
%%%

No… << >> takes whatever’s inside and combines it into a single voice.

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
