It's because you/he has put the lower note in the upper voice, so LilyPond shifts it to show this. Firstly, though, you can simplify it immensely by getting rid of most of the { } So: try this: << { c2. c4~ c1 bes1 a1 } \\ {g2. aes4~ aes1 ges1 des1 } >> -- Phil Holmes - Original M

Well, in Lilypond we always try to represent the musical content appropriately, and contrary to what Steven suggested, the measure length doesn’t change here, only the second alternative ‘misses out one beat’ or starts at another measure position. So setting measurePosition is the way to go her
