Reversing order of colliding noteheads?

2016-01-27 Thread Michael J. O'Donnell
In the following two-bar snippet, I used \voiceOne and \voiceTwo to place Tenor and Lead vocal lines on a single staff. The Tenor has a tied-over note, whose notehead collides at the beginning of the second bar with the Lead note, one step away. LilyPond places the Lead note inside of the Tenor tie

If you only need fairly conventional symbols, such as flats and sharps, then finding the native LaTeX forms is your best bet. They are often guessable (e.g., \flat), but they are often available only in math mode (which is the case for \flat), so you have to write $\flat$ in regular text, and you m
