Thanks Dominic. I'll give that a try.

Why doesn't \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift work on more than one note in a measure

2017-07-31 Thread Guy Stalnaker 
Hello all,

Curious about why \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift only seems to
affect the first note of a measure. This snippet shows 3 staves, the first
unmodified, the second with the chord shifted left and the e'' shifted
right, and the third attempting to shift both e'' and c'' right. But the
c'' is not affected by the NoteColumn.force-hshift directive.

This simplified snippet is from a working score where I'd very much like to
shift that second note to the right.

%% SNIPPET %%
\score {
  <<
\new Staff = "One" %No modification
<< { 1 }
   \\
   {
 \tuplet 3/2 { e''8 c''4 } f'4\rest e'2\rest |
} >>
\new Staff = "Two" %Shift chord left and e'' right
<< { \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = -0.5 1 }
   \\
   {
 \tuplet 3/2 { \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 1.5 e''8
c''4 } f'4\rest e'2\rest |
} >>
\new Staff = "Three" %Shift chord left and shift both e'' and c'' right
<< { \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = -0.5 1 }
   \\
   {
 \tuplet 3/2 { \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 1.5 e''8
\once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 1.5 c''4 } f'4\rest e'2\rest |
} >>
  >>
  \layout { }
}
%% SNIPPET %%
