I believe you can do what you want by setting the outside-staff-priority to ##f and then using Y-offset to move the accent. %%% \version "2.20.0" \relative c { \time 3/4 \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn << { <g'' c f>4\arpeggio e' d } \\ { g,8. -\tweak outside-staff-priority ##f -\tweak Y-offset -3 _> dis16 a2 } >> | } %%% -- Knute Snortum
