Guitar music has a lot of this stuff:
\relative c' {
<<
{g'16 d' b d}
\\
{g,4}
>>
}
where the G in the top part lines up with the G in the bottom and they
share the same notehead; exactly as expected and wanted.
However in this:
\relative c' {
\time 3/8
<<
{g'8 b d}
\\
{g,4.}
>>
}
the dotted-quarter in the bottom is offset to the right,
counter-intuitively (to me at least)
In the past I've worked around it with this:
\relative c' {
\time 3/8
<<
{g'8 b d}
\\
\override NoteHead #'X-offset = #-1.6
\override Stem #'X-offset = #-1.6
{g,4.}
>>
}
but then i have to keep switching back with "\revert NoteHead #'X-offset
\revert Stem #'X-offset" plus I'm just eyeballing and guessing at a good
offset value .
This can't be the right approach. Is there something in the manual I've
missed? And how come the different behavior in the 2 examples?
