Hi Gilles, Just put a space (s) between the figures.
ie. <6>8 s <6 5/>4 <_-> | <6 _->4 <6 5/>8 s <5> | It only needs to be done when like figures occur in different positions. i.e. <6> <6 5> The first 6 is in second position when compare with the following 6 in first position followed by 5. Putting the space (s) between the figures cancels the alignments.
