Can someone explain to me why the eighth note and half
note have their heads merged in the first measure while the quarter
note and the half note in the second measure do not?
\relative c''
{
\new Voice << {
c8 c4.
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
c8 c4.
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##f
c4 c4
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-dotted = ##t
c4 c4 } \\
{ c2 c2 c2 c2 } >>
Yes it seems strange but i think it is on purpose.
With a eighth note and a half note, the little hook of the eighth note
(sorry don't remember how you call that in english) lets you to understand
the duration of each merged notes.
There is no way to distinguish a quarter note and a half note if they are
merged. It can make believe you that it is 2 half notes.
(of course reading forward in the measure let you imagine the real duration
of each note)
