How can I shift down-stemmed notes rightwards?
I don't mind the alto and tenor notes sharing a stem as they do in
the third
chord, but I need to tease them apart horizontally when they are a
second
apart, as in the second chord. I have tried adding the following to
the
definition of RH, to no avail:
\voiceFour
This shifts the notes horizontally, but it shifts them leftwards,
which
looks wrong because the tenor noteheads are lower than the alto
noteheads
and thus collide with the alto notes' stems.
\shiftOn
This also shifts the notes leftwards.
\override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1.0
This does not shift those notes which are on the upper stave with
stems
down. Why not?
So in summary, how can I get an effect similar to \voiceFour or
\shiftOn on
down-stemmed notes, but shifting them to the right rather than the
left?
A wonderful example of this kind of modification can be found in the
Learning Manual, section 4.5.3 Tweaking output > Collisions of
objects > Real music example. This is one part of that example.
To answer your question, you need to both set the voice to \voiceFour
and then manually shift the notes to the right:
g \change Staff = rh \voiceFour \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift =
#1.0 f' e' \change Staff = lh \voiceOne \revert NoteColumn #'force-
hshift g
That should get you considerably closer to what you're looking for.
