horizontalNoteShift does not set shifting itself.
Notes that are likely to collide, are grouped into a Collision
object. Colliding notes within the collision are then grouped based
on their stem direction and horizontalNoteShift setting, like this:
|
| |
0u | |
1u |
2u
2d
| 1d
| | 0d
| |
|
(0,1,2, .. = horizontalNoteShift value. u,d = stem up / stem down)
Only then the seperate groups are shifted horizontally. When
collision is done with this shifting, any forceHorizontalShift
settings will override the default shifts.
This scheme makes sense, because you only have to set
horizontalNoteShift once in each voice. (Otherwise you'd have to set
and unset it for each collision in a score.)
