Hello Ponderers, My score has many places where a beamed set of grace notes start precisely on a note in a voice, and consequently overlap the first starting note. This is fine, and what the composer specifically intends (common notation in the New Complexity School). The attached image shows a snippet of a typical scenario.
In my example, I can’t get the start of the grace to sit on top of the note in the other voice. Indeed, lilypond is being very excellent about avoiding a collision, but I want to persuade it to align. I can achieve this with normal notes, but not with grace notes. Is this even remotely possible? \version "2.19.25" treble = { \clef treble \time 1/4 s4 } bass = { \clef bass \time 1/4 \stemDown << { cis,,16. b,,8 d,32 } \new Voice { s16. s8 s32 \grace { \bar "" \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #-1 % no effect d,8 bes, \change Staff = "treble" \stemDown e' \bar "|" } | } >> \oneVoice } \score { \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "treble" { \treble } \new Staff = "bass" { \bass } >> \layout { } } Andrew
