Re: How to shift stem from one side of a note to the other side
Hi,
Here's a fairly simple hack:
\version "2.19.32"
\new Staff {
R1
<<
\new Voice = "1" {
\voiceOne
g'2 4*2
}
\new Voice = "2" {
\voiceTwo
e'2 4~
}
>>
R1
}
Cheers,
Pierre

Re: How to shift stem from one side of a note to the other side
Near, but it is a hack – not really the finest or clearest engraving, I still maintain. Speaking as a player myself, it looks odd to read. Whne the player has to stop to work out the meaning of the engraving, the engraving has not succeeded in being transparent. Others may like it!

How to shift stem from one side of a note to the other side
(note newfound knowledge used to create a new topic without hijacking a thread.) I’m engraving a piece that has what appears to me to be an unusual-looking polyphonic chord (beat 3, music is \time 4/4): So far the closest I can come to that chord is: with the following code: StemShift.ly Description: Binary data Is there a way to shift the stem from the right side of the half-note f to the left side with simpler code? I’m hoping for something like \set Stem.attachmentSide = #’left to replace all four of the \override’s and the fiddling needed to determine the various numerical quantities.

Re: How to shift stem from one side of a note to the other side
Hi,
May be you can use something like:
\score {
<<{g'2 e'4 s}\\{e'2 4 }\\{s2
\override Stem.stencil=##f f'}>>
}
Happy new year,
Jean

Hi Cynthia, > I’m engraving a piece that has what appears to me to be an unusual-looking > polyphonic chord (beat 3, music is \time 4/4): Um… As far as I can tell, this is a very non-conventional engraving choice. 1. Was the original hand-engraved, or Finale/Sibelius/other? 2. Must you copy the engraving exactly, or can you fix/improve the engraving? Cheers, Kieren.

Re: How to shift stem from one side of a note to the other side
Hi Cynthia,
If you remove all the overrides and leave it as is you get a more legible
effect in my view. As Keiran says, the example you show is a strange engaving
choice. In general it’s better to avoid stems on the other side in this
particular sort of case unless there are strong musical and graphical reasons
for it. For simple polyphony, this just looks confusing to the player. This is
fine:
\version "2.19.32"
\new Staff {
R1
<<
\new Voice = "1" {
\voiceOne
g'2 f'
}
\new Voice = "2" {
\voiceTwo
e’2 4~
}
>>
R1
}
If you do want to do it, there is a more generalised solution for moving
noteheads in relation to the stem at LSR:
