cannot shift position of voice in polyphony

I'm having this problem repeatedly - in several scores << \stemDown {a4\rest \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #2.0 a gis |} \\ {s4 b,2} >> The " \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #2.0" has NO effect. I'm using this polyphonic construct to split a voice briefly, in a m

Re: cannot shift position of voice in polyphony

To clarify: Your original command does _not_ shift a note but (as the name tells) a note column. When you don't specify different voices both notes are in the same column and are shifted _together_. HTH Urs Pierre Perol-Schneider schrieb: >2013/5/18 Tom Cloyd > >> I'm having this problem

Re: cannot shift position of voice in polyphony; problem with harmonic

I have two remaining note-column shift problems, even after applying the suggested "fix". My new source code is here . Using square bracketed above-staff numbers (appears in output), I have flagged two problems of this sort, plus one harmonic notation problem that I

Re: An idea for a systematic development of a large score.

I think this whole thread is very useful. Thanks for initiating it! And I totally agree about the value of this list for learners (and others). Of the many I subscribe to, it's always been the best, by quite a margin. t. On 05/17/2013 07:58 PM, wjm wrote: A bit of my LP background - - - Sever

Thanks for the clarification. This makes complete sense. It's also totally new to me, and teaches me something valuable I need to know. Very much appreciated! Tom On 05/18/2013 04:42 PM, Trevor Daniels wrote: Urs Liska wrote Saturday, May 18, 2013 8:24 PM To clarify: Your original command

Left align first word of lyrics

Hi list, Is it possible to automatically left align the first word of multiple line lyrics ? By default the lyrics are all centered under the note, which is okay in most situations, but perhaps not optimal for the first word of a staff. For example, the words "Ccc", "Cc" and "C" are centere

Thanks you, David. To answer your question - because my ignorance of Lilypond is vast, and I've been away from ly for a long time. It shows. Thanks for your correction. t. On 05/18/2013 09:17 PM, David Kastrup wrote: Tom Cloyd writes: [3] I have requested that the be high "b" display as
