I neglected to send this to the group .. sorry! Out of date anyway, since the a tie between mm 1 & 2 isn't working in Trevor's solution.
Trevor, Your solution is what I was after. Thanks! But -- why 2 as the parameter for force-hshift? Doesn't that mean two notehead widths? For others -- I was looking for this: [image: Inline images 2] from IMSLP305644-PMLP30753-IMSLP252089-PMLP30753-Saint_Saens-Oratorio_de_Noel-Partition_Chant_et_Piano_-_scantailored.pdf, print page 9, PDF page 11. Thanks to all!
