Michael - It seems your question hasn't received a response. Here are a couple of dirty solutions that may inspire others to do better.

Is there any possibility of pulling the f16 further towards the previous note in the lowest stave in the following example? I find it's really too close to the following note. --- SNIP --- \version "2.10.0" upper = { \clef treble \key f \minor \time 6/8 \skip 2. * 3 } blah = { \change Staff = lower \stemUp \relative c { des16 } \change Staff = upper \stemDown \relative c'' { g } } lower = { \clef bass \key f \minor \time 6/8 \blah\blah\blah \blah\blah\blah \blah\blah\blah \blah\blah\blah \blah\blah\blah \blah\blah\blah } pedal = { \clef bass \key f \minor \time 6/8 \relative c, { f8 f f f'8. f16 f8 } \relative c, { f8 f f f'8. f16 f8 } \relative c, { f8 f f f'8. f16 f8 } } \score { << \new PianoStaff << \context Staff = upper \upper \context Staff = lower \lower >> \new Staff = pedal \pedal >> } --- SNIP --- Other than that, I'm having lots of fun with the program. Excellent quality of output!
