Re: Note collision without stems

[James Bailey]

I assume you *want* the two heads merged into one. since as it is,  
there is no collision. The easy way is to force them together.

I always look in the learning manual for this solution, because I can  
never remember how to move noteheads, since I do it so rarely. It's  
in 4.5.3 Real music example. It's a godsend, as far as I'm concerned.
\version "2.12.2"

%%No collision
<<\clef bass {c1( d4)}\\{c1(b,4)}>>
<<{c'1( d'4)}\\{c'1(b4)}>>

%%With collision
<<\clef bass {c1( d4)}\\{\once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift =  
#-.5 c1(b,4)}>>
<<{c'1( d'4)}\\{\once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #-0.5 c'1 
(b4)}>>
