Re: Engraving a triple-stop for violin

Thank you, Valentin and David.

I was not aware that << >> construct can be used this way.

I do seem to remember that LilyPond did
not deal well with it?

“1.5.1 Single voice — Simultaneous expressions” of NR says:

This can be useful if the simultaneous sections have identical rhythms, but attempts to attach notes with different durations to the same stem will cause errors.

I think that the code

\new Voice << g4 e' e''2^. >>

is attaching notes with different durations to the same stem but I do not see any error message.

Hello Pierre,

I think this should rather be

{ <\tweak duration-log #2 g \tweak duration-log #2 e' e''>2^. }

Alternatively one can simply do

\new Voice << g4 e' e''2^. >>

(the \new Voice is necessary as there has been no music before this, so there 
does not exist a voice, and Lilypond will then create one Voice for each 
parallel music).

The latter is definitely the _natural_ way to enter this construct
(single voice simultaneity) but I do seem to remember that LilyPond did
not deal well with it?
