Trevor, I am, indeed, using 2.18.2. I obviously should have mentioned that. Sorry!
I finally got it to work in such a way that it precisely mimics the original: [image: Inline images 1] [image: Inline images 2] I had to add a \hideNotes: << { s1 | \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 1.75 b1~ | b2 cis } \\ { a1~ | <a a,>2 <g g,>4 <fis fis,> | <g g,>1 } \\ { } \\ { r2 a,~ | \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 0.75 \hideNotes a \unHideNotes } >> Thanks again for your help!
