Re: Horizontal shift

[PMA]

Mea culpa!  The arpeggio is *not* overlapping "legitimate" rest glyphs,
but only the glyph I substituted, that happens to jut a hair rightwards!

Still, as I'm stubborn enough to stick to that choice, your suggested
"...extra-offset..." has solved the problem in both aspects -- applying
either a positive value to Arpeggio, or a negative one to Rest.

Thanks and greetings back!
