Running 2.18.2 under Linux, I'm looking to duplicate this:

I currently have this:

[image: Inline images 2]

I would like to shift the first quarter note a bit to the right, about half
as much as the third, but force-hshift and the various \shiftOxxx commands
have no effect. (The stems of the quarter and half notes should be
noticeably separate.)

Snippet:

\new Staff = "treble" \with { \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" }
<< \relative c'' { \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t \key a\major
  << { e2 \arpeggio a, } \\ { \voiceOne e4 \arpeggio e \shiftOn e fis8 g }
\\ { cis,1 \arpeggio } >>
} >>

I get the usual warning -- "ignoring too many clashing note columns".  The
LM says, at 4.6.1, "If *and only if* two or more note columns within a
single Staff context, both with stems in the same direction, occur at the
same musical moment, the values of their horizontal-shift properties are
used to rank them and the columns in the higher ranks are progessively
offset to avoid collisions of the noteheads."

So -- shouldn't the alignment I want occur automagically?

Or should "both with stems in the same direction" be "all with stems ..."?
But whole notes have no stems ... is that the problem?

Thanks!

Fred
