Fwd: How to merge three voices

[Christian]

Hi Knute!

Don't know if this solution would be called clean and doesn't run in other problems, but using \voiceOne and \voiceTwo inside the variables to change voice-Styles seems to work for me. Had a similar problem a couple of months ago.

These were the changes I made:

rightHandUpper = \relative {
  \voiceOne
  gf'4._~ gf4 f16 ef ~ |
  \voiceTwo
  ef4.
}

rightHandLower = \relative {
  \voiceOne
  s2.
  bf'4.
}

rightHand = <<
  \global
  \new Voice { \rightHandUpper }
  \new Voice { \rightHandLower }
>>

All the best,

Christian

Is there a way to merge three voices in LilyPond?

My specific problem is displayed in the attached file.  Here is
basically what's going on:

The last sixteenth note in the right hand, first voice needs to appear
to be tied to the note in the next measure, which is voice two.  This
is not a problem.  I create a hidden note in voice two and tie to
that.  All is well.

But then I have this wavering sixteenth note line in voice three of
the left hand.  The last note needs to change staff and merge with the
sixteenth note in the right hand.  This is not normally a problem, but
I've already have a voice two in the right hand, so it doesn't merge.
Changing the voice, playing with removing flags and stems and
noteheads does not fix the problem -- or at least I didn't find the
right combo.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
