I searched for a way to shift notes horizontally but when I shift the half-note chord in the first voice below, it shifts the second eighth-note in the second voice, forcing it to stay to the right of the half-note. When I tried adding something to shift the beamed eight-notes to the left, it shifted only the first eighth-note, continuing to anchor the second to the right of the half-note.
What I want is for the two eighth-notes to stay to the left, and for the half-note to appear to the right of it. This is what I have at the moment, with the shift commented out. (The "#10" is just an experiment, not necessarily the final value.) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% << { % \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #10 <fs, d'>2~ | <fs d'>4\fermata s4 | } \\ { d'8[ b8] s4 | s4 d4 | } >> \bar "|." %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
