Frederick,

 

Does this work?

 

\version "2.18.0"

\new Staff = "treble" \with { \consists "Span_arpeggio_engraver" }

<< \relative c'' { \set Staff.connectArpeggios = ##t \key a\major

  << { \voiceOne e2 \arpeggio a, } \\

     { \voiceThree e4 \arpeggio e e fis8 g } \\

     { \voiceTwo cis,1 \arpeggio } >>

} >>

 

Mark

Subject: Still confused about horizontal shifts in NoteColumns

 

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

I currently have this:

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
