Hello Knute, the thing is that you do not have three voices, but four: The bass, going ef2 ef4, the treble going df2 df4, the tenor going g4 g gf and the alto having that eigth note pattern.
See the appended file for how I’d do it (using forced hshifts, because I do not want to bother with finding the correct voice configuration to get some offsets). Cheers, Valentin Am Dienstag, 15.
