Looking at the current output of regtest `unpure-pure-container.ly` I have the feeling that the description text doesn't fit the code at all: It always talks about the second note of each group, while the code modifies the first note.
To answer the second part of your question: the regtest overrides the pure Y offset of the first note's flag, which allows the second note to move closer to the first note. Horizontal spacing springs and rods are computed before line breaking because they are needed for line breakers to find the optimal configuration. So they are only based on pure height estimates and not real values. This is required for stems with beams, since their length depends on the slope of the beam, which in turn depends on horizontal spacing. The test fools the pure estimation of the flag's offset, causing it to appear much higher than it actually is, and in particular not overlapping with the second note, in the pure skylines used to determine the rod between the two columns. As a result, the flag does not appear to collide with the second note, which is consequently allowed to get closer to the first note. Adding the following might be an aid to understanding: #(ly:set-option 'debug-skylines) \layout { \override Score.PaperColumn.stencil = #ly:separation-item::print } Best, Jean
