RE: ties between voices

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

David,

Would you, or someone else, direct me to "\voices" in the manual.
I might be using incorrect search terms.
Thank you,

Mark

Thanks to everone for all the responses!  I now have at 3 or 4 different
ways to do this!

I had seen "\voices" in the manual, but it did not say anything about
continuing phrasing or dynamics across voices.  I fact it said it can't be
done.  But after seeing people's responses, I looked further and found where
it explained this feature.  So there seems to be an inconsistency in the
manual.  What's the best way to go about reporting/fixing this?
