I'm trying to typeset the following snippet of violin music. My first idea was to use two voices here but then I would not be able to make a slur between them. Is it possible without using manual placement of notes?
1 Answer
Since the lower voice is eighth notes and the upper voice is sixteenth notes, my recommendation would be to use separate voices. Here is one possible solution:
\version "2.19.63"
music = \relative c'' {
<<
{
f16\rest b, e\rest a,
}
\\
{
\autoBeamOff
f8 e
}
\\
{
\autoBeamOff
\override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 0
\hideNotes f16_( b) e,_( a)
}
>>
}
\score {
\new Staff \music
\layout { }
}
which compiles
Another option would be to put f16 b e, a
in a single voice, but change the flags on the lower two pitches to be eighth notes instead of sixteenth notes.

Minor quibble: The "hooks" of short rests should go in spaces (not on lines), i.e. that second rest looks better centred on "F" or possibly "D" (not "E"). Oct 6, 2023 at 6:27
