The default when there are two voices with colliding notes is to shift the
voice with upstems (odd-numbered voices) to the right and voices with downstems
to the left. I would like the opposite - i.e. voiceOne, with stems up, shifted
left. Is this possible? (not as a single override, but thro

right, but in bar 5 the voiceOne note, a dotted note, is being shifted to the
right. I have tried using the Staff.NoteCollision.pre

Hallo Carolyn,
I have read that section again and I am still a bit confused at what I

works on the upper note. I was just surprised to see so many different shifts
in one line of music, but that’s what it takes to keep everythi
