Running 2.18.2 under Linux, I'm looking to duplicate this: [image: Inline images 2] 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
