... which one can illustrate with three diagrams:
yours.png the mysterious misalignment
unhidden.png the backstage antics showing the collision
why.png why the other arrows didn't collide:
_their_ near neighbours weren't shrunk, so the
stems were further to the right.
I hadn't a clue what your source was doing until I expanded it
vertically. In the source to why.png, any line which has %% on it
has been deleted or modified. (I also inserted a \time 4/4)
Cheers,
