Your suggested solution seems to be the way to do it. I tried it quickly, but the NoteColumn #'force-hshift didn't do anything. Now, that may be because I am not using the 2.5 yet and i didn't start looking in the manual for a way to achieve this in 2.4. I will upgrade and try again and in any event, you have pointed me in the right direction, and I am sure i will be able to find out. I am still curious to find out why the Voice.Beam #'X-extent and Voice.Beam #'extra-offset doesn't have any effect. This was what I tried at first. Anybody knows why me and Daniel are unsuccessful in getting the desired effect?
