music. If a Voice context is not explicitly declared one is created
automatically, as we saw at the beginning of this chapter. Some
instruments such as an Oboe can play only one note at a time. Music
-written for such instruments is monophonic and requires just a single
-voice. Instruments which can play more than one note at a time like
-the piano will often require multiple voices to encode the different
-concurrent notes and rhythms they are capable of playing.
+written for such instruments requires just a single voice. Instruments
+which can play more than one note at a time like the piano will often
+require multiple voices to encode the different concurrent notes and
+rhythms they are capable of playing.
A single voice can contain many notes in a chord, of course,
so when exactly are multiple voices needed? Look first at
this example of four chords:
-@lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,ragged-right,relative=1]
-\key g \major
-<d g>4 <d fis> <d a'> <d g>
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim,ragged-right]
+\relative {
+ \key g \major
+ <d' g>4 <d fis> <d a'> <d g>
+}
@end lilypond
This can be expressed using just the single angle bracket chord
@code{\\}, to place them in separate voices. Without these, the
notes would be entered into a single voice, which would usually
cause errors. This technique is particularly suited to pieces of
-music which are largely monophonic with occasional short sections
+music which are largely homophonic with occasional short sections
of polyphony.
Here's how we split the chords above into two voices and add both
the passing note and a slur:
-@lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,ragged-right,relative=2]
-\key g \major
-% Voice "1" Voice "2"
-<< { g4 fis8( g) a4 g } \\ { d4 d d d } >>
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim,ragged-right]
+\relative {
+ \key g \major
+ % Voice = "1" Voice = "2"
+ << { g'4 fis8( g) a4 g } \\ { d4 d d d } >>
+}
@end lilypond
Notice how the stems of the second voice now point down.
Here's another simple example:
-@lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,ragged-right,relative=2]
-\key d \minor
-% Voice "1" Voice "2"
-<< { r4 g g4. a8 } \\ { d,2 d4 g } >> |
-<< { bes4 bes c bes } \\ { g4 g g8( a) g4 } >> |
-<< { a2. r4 } \\ { fis2. s4 } >> |
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim,ragged-right]
+\relative {
+ \key d \minor
+ % Voice = "1" Voice = "2"
+ << { r4 g' g4. a8 } \\ { d,2 d4 g } >> |
+ << { bes4 bes c bes } \\ { g4 g g8( a) g4 } >> |
+ << { a2. r4 } \\ { fis2. s4 } >> |
+}
@end lilypond
It is not necessary to use a separate @code{<< \\ >>} construct
-for each bar. For music with few notes in each bar this layout
+for each bar. For music with few notes in each bar this layout
can help the legibility of the code, but if there are many
notes in each bar it may be better to split out each voice
separately, like this:
-@lilypond[quote,verbatim,fragment,ragged-right,relative=2]
-\key d \minor
-<< {
- % Voice "1"
- r4 g g4. a8 |
- bes4 bes c bes |
- a2. r4 |

- % Voice "2"
- d,2 d4 g |
- g4 g g8( a) g4 |

-We see that this fixes the stem direction, but exposes a problem
-sometimes encountered with multiple voices -- the stems of the notes
-in one voice can collide with the note heads in other voices. In
-laying out the notes, LilyPond allows the notes or chords from two
-voices to occupy the same vertical note column provided the stems are
-in opposite directions, but the notes from the third and fourth voices
-are displaced, if necessary, to avoid the note heads colliding. This
-usually works well, but in this example the notes of the lowest voice
-are clearly not well placed by default. LilyPond provides several ways
-to adjust the horizontal placing of notes. We are not quite ready yet
-to see how to correct this, so we shall leave this problem until a
-later section --- see the @code{force-hshift} property in @ref{Fixing
-overlapping notation}.

+@cindex stretchability of staves
+@cindex staves, stretchability
+
+The above layout of the organ staves is almost perfect; however,
+there is a slight defect which is not visible by looking at just a
+single system: The distance of the pedal staff to the left hand staff
+should behave approximately the same as the right hand staff to the
+left hand staff. In particular, the stretchability of staves in a
+@code{PianoStaff} context is limited (so that the distance between
+the staves for the left and right hand can't become too large), and
+the pedal staff should behave similarly.
+
+@cindex sub-properties

+Stretchability of staves can be controlled with the
+@code{staff-staff-spacing} property of the
+@code{VerticalAxisGroup} @q{graphical object} (commonly called
+@q{grob}s within the lilypond documentation) -- don't worry about
+the details right now; this is fully explained later. For the
+curious, have a look at @ruser{Overview of modifying properties}.
+In this case, we want to modify the @code{stretchability}
+sub-property only. Again, for the curious, you can find the
+default values for the staff-staff-spacing property
+in file @file{scm/define-grobs.scm} by looking up the definition
+of the @code{VerticalAxisGroup} grob. The value for
+@code{stretchability} is taken from the definition of the
+@code{PianoStaff} context (in file @file{ly/engraver-init.ly})
+so that the values are identical.
