Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your replies.
I understand that what I want is, in LilyPond, impossible by regular means,
and/or unusual if realized by a weird trick, moving a note-head to the wrong
side of the stem. That would be rather ugly, I think.
Still, what I want to do is not my idea. To illustrate what I'm talking about I
will have to include two more screenshots from serious publications.
and .
Different works from the same composer.
Does it look wrong or repulsive?
Would it really be impossible to realize it in LilyPond?
Btw, I just see another posible dirty trick to realize it.
Thanks anyway,
Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
