Thanks, it's so much easier to help when we have an immediately accessible working code to play with.
For most of this extract only two voices are needed in the treble clef and two in the bass clef, i.e. voices one and two in the treble and also voices one and two in the bass. This is fine until you switch clefs in bar 6: then when you set the stem to be up you have two notes with stems up (voiceOne), but with different durations. Not good. Here you need a third voice if you want the stems in the direction indicated, like this: Alto = \relative c'' { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch b, a g2 d' g~ g4 f e d c1 c2. b4 \change Staff=down \voiceThree \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 1.5 a g f e d2 \change Staff=up \voiceTwo d'4 c } You'll then find you can adjust the positioning using force-hshift on any note and with any value to suit your preference. Perhaps like this: Alto = \relative c'' { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch b, a g2 d' g~ g4 f e d c1 c2. b4 \change Staff=down \voiceThree \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 1.5 a g f e d2 \change Staff=up \voiceTwo d'4 c } Baxo = \relative c { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch g1\rest g'2. f4 e4 d c b a g f2 f'1 \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 1.5 f4 e d c bf a g2~ } NB Always avoid fiddling with the stem direction using \stemUp and \stemDown. If you feel the need to use these you almost certainly should be thinking of changing the voice instead.

I didn't want to overflow the email with code, but I see your point. Here the compilable example: \version "2.18.2" \language "english" \paper { #(set-paper-size "letter") } global = { \key c \major \time 2/2 } Tiple = \relative c'' { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch d2. c4 b a g2~ g g c2. b4 a g f2 a1 bf2. a4 } Alto = \relative c'' { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch b, a g2 d' g~ g4 f e d c1 c2. b4 \change Staff=down \stemUp a g f e d2 \change Staff=up \stemDown d'4 c } Tenor = \relative c' { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch g1 g g a a a g } Baxo = \relative c { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch g1\rest g'2. f4 e4 d c b a g f2 f'1 f4 e d c bf a g2~ } \score { \new PianoStaff \with { instrumentName = "Organ" } << \new Staff = "up" \with { } << \Tiple \\ \Alto >> \new Staff = "down" \with { } { \clef bass << \Tenor \\ \Baxo >> } >> \layout { } } And here the result: As you all can see, at staff 6 and 7 Tenor and Alto overlap. I tried to insert \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #n with various n's both to the Alto and the Tenor but it has no effect whatsoever. Thanks for the help!

Here the original code: Tiple = \relative c'' { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch d'2. c4 b a g2~ g g c2. b4 a g f2 a1 bf2. a4 } Alto = \relative c'' { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch b a g2 d' g~ g4 f e d c1 c2. b4 \change Staff=down \stemUp a g f e d2 \change Staff=up \stemDown d'4 c } Tenor = \relative c' { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch g g g a a a g } Baxo = \relative c { \global % Music follows here. \showStaffSwitch g\rest g'2. f4 e4 d c b a g f2 f'1 f4 e d c bf a g2~ } When compiling I get the attached Capture1.jpg. The command \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #-0.7 Has no effect neither on the Alto nor on the Tenor. How can I correct the alignment of the notes? Thanks!
