Hey Mats, of course I know that if two notes are a second apart one is moved a little to keep readability (that's what you mean right?). But in my example in the second voice, both notes are moved a little to the right (still being a readable second) in comparison to the melody and the notes in the lower staff.
Well, I hope that was more clear now. regards, Tao -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Fri, 08 Jun 2007 16:03:01 +0200 Von: Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: lilypond-user@gnu.org Betreff: Re: moving notes on x-axis > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >Hello, > > > >in the output of the following code the notes of the second voice in the > second and sixth bar are placed a little to the right in comparison to the > other voices. > >I tried to fix it with \override NoteHead #'X-offset but whether I used > positive or negative arguments didn't make a difference and moved always > further to the right. > > > > > The notes would collide and create an unreadable score if you > make them completely aligned along the X axis.
