extra-offset tells LilyPond to first do all its work (including collision avoidance) and then moves the result without any consideration by the given amount. The situation where you would use that is mostly to correct errors in a printout by overriding LilyPond's work after the fact, stuff you'd probably do by dragging with a mouse in a graphical program. It does not really work well as a general mechanism. For rearranging stacking orders and similar automatically, the manual offers a number of recipes in <URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/learning/outside_002dstaff-objects>. It seems like an anomaly that advanced material like this would be covered in the Learning Manual and is seemingly not to be found in the Notation Reference. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
