That's just it -- I'm not sure there are any precise rules. With the
myriad different situations where horizontal shifting might be
required to make the stemming clear, there might not be any rules
other than whatever you do should be clear and easily read at sight by
whomever is going to be playing the music.
There are nevertheless situations where there are several possibilities
that seem equally clear. I looked at several Bach fugues from the WTC in
different editions, and see different choices.
In the fugue in C# minor, for instance:
<http://imslp.info/files/imglnks/usimg/c/cf/IMSLP02209-BWV0849.pdf>
Bar 14, the upper C# is shifted to the left.
In the Henle edition of the same piece, it's the F# that's shifted to
the right.
There are countless places where one has to make such choices. On what
basis does one choose the note that's moved?
You've just proven my point -- there is no universally
agreed on basis to choose which note gets moved, thus the
difference in the two printed editions you cite. If there
were a precise rule, they'd both be shifted the same.
