Re: String number collision

[David Stocker]

Greetings.

Your example works as is in 2.13.11, with the string number indications 
appearing above the beams of the notes.

At any rate, try adding \override StringNumber #'add-stem-support = ##t

% measure  20:
     <<
        { \override StringNumber #'add-stem-support = ##t
           r8 <c'\3>8 <e'\2>8 c'8 e'4 }  \\
        { c2. }
     >>

Hope that helps,

David
