I would appreciate any help. Since denemo has no own tag I used LilyPond.

Update 1

The command from rshann worked only if I run it on every voice. The result comes close, but on the seconds staff is still something wrong.

    Wouldn't you prefer to differentiate voices by the stem direction, i.e., soprano up, alto down, tenor up, bass down? Apr 16 at 17:17

After a little time of trial and error I set the first and second voice via Object Menu ▶ Staffs/Voices ▶ Initial Voice One and the third and fourth voice as Voice Forth. This is not 100 percent what I wanted, but comes close to it.

Those aren't really voices, they are chords. A voice

  • is always notated with stems separated from the other voices,
  • can have different rhythms than the other voices.

Chords

  • join notes from the same voice
  • are written with shared stems.

Therefore, using a single voice on both staves is conceptually correct, not something of a workaround.

  • This was only a short MWE. Later on, there will be notes with different rhythms. So it's like a mixing between separate voices and chords. The full song you can find here. Apr 16 at 19:38

    In LilyPond, \partCombine would be ideal for that, but I don't know if Denemo has an interface to it. Apr 16 at 23:27

Command: No Horizontal Shifts Turns off horizontal displacement of notes (which avoid collisions between parts) Location: Object Menu ▶ Staffs/Voices ▶ Voices Internal Name: ShiftOff
