RE: How to structure piano music?

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Joram,

Here is a command that manually shifts the note column,
\once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #xx,
"xx" is the number, positive for to the right, negative to the left. You might 
have to play with the size of the numbers to get what you want.

Thanks, but I meant more technically. Is there anything more, a voice does than 
setting those directions and shifts? If I only want to set the mentioned 
directions but no shifts. Is it better to use voices and turn the shifts off or 
not to use them and set the directions?

Cheers,
Joram
