Re[2]: Control which voice if shifted left

[musicus]

Attached another example, where changing the shift direction could be 
helpful...

 Probably that’s because there is no way to automate this. At least 
I’d
 be very surprised if there were one. It’s so much of a standard to 
shift
 columns in the directions they are actually shifted, and everything 
more
 flexible would require a much more intelligent algorithm, I think.


The code that does the shifting has a comment
 TODO: these numbers are magic; should devise a set of grob
   propertiess to tune this behavior.
where "these numbers" are the amounts to shift chords in the various 
cases:
  \transpose c c' \new Staff <<
    \new Voice {\voiceOne g4 g g g <g c'> <g b> <g b> g }
    \new Voice {\voiceTwo e  f a8. r16 g4  b b c' c' } >>

It would take some work to define and briefly document properties 
alongside
merge-differently-dotted to let the shift be changed for each of these
cases, but then we could change the sign of the shift for the case 
where
the stems currently line up.
