Hi Robert, there are a lot unrelated warnings cluttering the log. I'd not use pitched rests but normal rests with an override for staff-position. Also, \voiceXxx Though, that's unrelated. The culprit seems to be your \override NoteColumn.X-offset = #-4 (and some forgotten(?) \once ... ) A minimal would be: << { \once \override NoteColumn.X-offset = #-4 d'2. } { \voiceThree b4 } >> The negative X-offset will push all other stuff to the left including the dots. Cheers, Harm Makes no sense to me
