\once \override NoteColumn

Set x to negative to move to the left, positive to the
right.

Hi Nick,
     I can't get it to work:

\version "2.12.2"

\relative c' {
        c \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #8 d e f
}

Am I using it correctly?

I also tried the NonMusicalPaperColumn thingy that's listed in the NR, and it won't do anything either.

Searching the Snippet Repository I think, that the force-hshift works only in polyphonic music. I get this feeling, since in this example

        << {
                g4 a
        } \\ {
        
                c,4
                \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1
                d e f
        } >>


the horizontal shift vanishes when you remove the second note (a) in the upper voice. Is force-hshift intended for such a fine-tuning?

The sample above is mimiced from "Forcing horizontal shift of notes" found in LSR.
