Minimal example:
\version "2.24.0"
\fixed c {
\clef bass
<<
a4.->
\\
<d f a>2.
>>
<<
a4->
\\
<d f a>2.
>>
}
When I look *real* closely, I see four dots the first time and three dots
the second; but the attached image shows how this looks in the source
score, with the dotted-quarter note shifted horizontally from the dotted
half-note chord. To my untrained eye, that looks much clearer than what
Lilypond is producing.
(a) Is the Lilypond default presentation really the better way of
indicating this? If so, I can just leave it alone. Otherwise,
(b) I've tried following the examples in
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices#collision-resolution
and https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/moving-objects,
but I can’t figure out what I need to `\tweak` to accomplish this
horizontal shift.
