Minimal example: \version "2.24.0" \fixed c { \clef bass << a4.-> \\ <d f a>2. >> << a4-> \\ <d f a>2. >>
} When I look *real* closely, I see four dots the first time and three dots the second; but the attached image shows how this looks in the source score, with the dotted-quarter note shifted horizontally from the dotted half-note chord. To my untrained eye, that looks much clearer than what Lilypond is producing. (a) Is the Lilypond default presentation really the better way of indicating this? If so, I can just leave it alone. Otherwise, (b) I've tried following the examples in https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices#collision-resolution and https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/moving-objects, but I can’t figure out what I need to `\tweak` to accomplish this horizontal shift.
