Re: How to shift stem from one side of a note to the other side

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi,

Here's a fairly simple hack:

\version "2.19.32"

\new Staff {
  R1
  <<
    \new Voice = "1" {
      \voiceOne
      g'2 <e' \tweak duration-log #1 f'>4*2
    }
    \new Voice = "2" {
      \voiceTwo
      e'2  <e' b>4~ <dis' b>
    }
  >>
  R1
}

Cheers,
Pierre

Hi Cynthia,

If you remove all the overrides and leave it as is you get a more legible effect in my view. As Keiran says, the example you show is a strange engaving choice. In general it’s better to avoid stems on the other side in this particular sort of case unless there are strong musical and graphical reasons for it. For simple polyphony, this just looks confusing to the player. This is fine:

\version "2.19.32"

\new Staff {

  R1

  <<

    \new Voice = "1" {

      \voiceOne

      g'2 f'

    }

    \new Voice = "2" {

      \voiceTwo

      e’2 <e' b>4~ <dis' b>

    }

  >>

  R1

}

If you do want to do it, there is a more generalised solution for moving noteheads in relation to the stem at LSR:
