I'm typing some guitar music with version 2.10.33 to teach myself how to use LilyPond. I'm using the command \shiftOn to move inner voices so that they are clear and not colliding with other voices. I'm also typing the upper voice and lower voice separately, in hopes to avoid extra typing and overly complex use of syntax.
My problem is, sometimes \shiftOn moves the inner voice to the left, and sometimes to the right. See the attached .ly file: In the first bar, using \shiftOn on the downstem C in the upper voice causes both the upstem portion of voice one, and the downstem lower voice to shift to the right. In the second bar, using \shiftOn only on the lower voice moves it to the left (instead of the right like I would expect) and leaves all of the upper voice unchanged (also what I'd expect). In the third bar, using \shiftOn on the upstem E on the upper voice also moves the lower voice to the left. What I want, is for the lower voice to move slightly to the right, while both directions of the upper voice keep the default horizontal alignment. In the second line, \shiftOn does what I want it to, and avoids note column collisions between voices. What's the difference?
