Hello, David: I still think that it would be better if the tied notes were on different stems than the slurred ones on the 4th beat. It would be considerably clearer. Quite possibly, but unfortunately it doesn't avoid the notehead collision AND it adds a more confusing 4th beat stacking into the

Hello, Michael: Don't use the \once tag. This way your property should be set for the entire Voice until changed again. But the exact amount of the tweak might not be the same, right? Therefore (if I understand correctly), I must use the \once tag and call it each time I'm tweaking, yes?
