Hmm, that example seemed very complicated, I couldn't make out what was going on - but I did just find NoteColumn.force-hshift just a little further on (in http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices ) and it seems to do the trick: \version "2.18.0" MI = {\voiceOne a4.~ \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #1.7 a8 b c'} MII = { \voiceTwo a8 g^~ <e_~ g^~ >8 <e g> \skip 4 } \new Staff << \new Voice \clef bass \time 6/8 \MI \new Voice \MII >> Ironically, I had already tried \\override NoteColumn.X-offset without effect...
