I replied earlier - but, as so often, my message was not posted by the list. I think David Sumbler is misreading Gould. As I see it, the illustration he mentions on page 10 is intended just to show that the semibreve is slightly wider horizontally than a black notehead - the point Gould has just made in the text. Her actual examples (there is one at the bottom of page 36) seems to show the left-alignment that he criticises.

Re: Incorrect note alignment
Hi, I think we had some discussion about this on this list in the last 5 (?) years. My aesthetic feeling would like to centre-align them. Still, I would not over-interpret Behind Bars. If Gould states it explicitly: ok, but the examples are also done with some program, I guess. In case there is a detail she does not care enough, there can be cases where she accepts the program's default output without saying that other solutions are necessarily bad or wrong. If I can find the old discussion, I will come back, but I am lacking the right keywords at the moment.

I've looked at my own copy of the same piece - different edition - and the notes are aligned just as you say. In the particular case I noticed, though, with a single crotchet above a semibreve, I still think it looks wrong! Rather than tweaking the note positions (which may then make it look odd in the full score), I'll perhaps avoid the issue by altering it to a crotchet chord tied to a single note dotted minim.

RE: Incorrect note alignment
HI David,
But if you want to override it:
<<
{
\once \override Voice.NoteColumn.force-hshift = #0.1 % value by trial and
error
d'4 b'2.\rest
}
\\
{ b1 }
>>

Odp: Incorrect note alignment
In traditional engraving note heads are aligned to their left. Take a look at this excerpt from Monnlight Sonata by Henle Verlag. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Incorrect note alignment
\version "2.19.48"
\language "english"
<< { d'4 b'2.\rest }
\\
{ b1 }
>>
The above bar occurs in a piece I have set in Lilypond and that I am
currently correcting.
The crotchet d in the upper voice and the semibreve b in the lower
appear to be vertically aligned at their left edges, and not at their
centres.
To me, this looks ugly and wrong, and although she does not state it in
words, Elaine Gould would apparently think the same judging from the
illustration in her description of the semibreve (page 10 of "Behind
Bars").
I have never noticed this mis-alignment before, probably because I have
not had a passage which makes it so obvious. Or perhaps it is
something that has crept into Lilypond at some recent stage.
Is this alignment intentional?
David
