RE: A weird spacing problem

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Robert,

 

When I set piano four part I let Lilypond do all the work.

I have taken the liberty of recoding the section using four-part voicing.

Hi Valentin, 

 

Thanks for your interest in my problem

 

The piece, as you can see in the screenshot, is a piano score with two voices 
in each staff and occasionally a third voice by << { } \\ { } >> or 
\partcombine.

I triple-checked my source code, first by hiding successively each voice, and 
see what happens, and then to comment out and successively reopen all lines, 55 
in each voice,  in my score. Compared with the original everything is OK except 
the passage (only 3 bars) shown in the screenshot. Thereafter, in the last 7 
bars of the piece everything is again perfect.

  

Overall there are several instances where I needed "\once \override NoteColumn 
#'force-hshift = #x" , and a few "\once\override NoteColumn.X-offset = #x”.

 

I use LilyPond 2_19_83-1 with TeXShop as the editor. Usually it works perfectly.

 

I include the problematic part of the score. It is certainly not a MWE but it 
works for me and it shows the problem. It also shows that its origin does not 
ly in the previous bars.

 

Thanks again for your interest.
