Hi guys,

I am engraving a chorale prelude by Georg Friedrich Kauffmann. There is a bar where I want the alto voice to cross over to the left hand staff, see the example below. But then the b in the alto voice clashed with both d's in tenor- and bass voice. I'd like to move the b in the alto a little to the left, or both d's in the tenor and bass a little to the right. I have tried NoteColumn.force-shift, NoteColumn.X-offset and NoteHead.extra-spacing-width in various combinations on the clashing notes, but nothing gives the desired effect. I can put voiceThree before d in the tenor voice and it moves out of the way nicely. But the d in the bass voice stays where it is and that's not the effect that I want.
Is there a way in Lilypond to nudge a note (either the b in the alto voice, or both d's in tenor and bass) a little to the left or to the right?

\version "2.18.2"

global = {
\key g \major \time 4/4
}

soprano = \relative c' {
\global
fis2 g |
}

alto = \relative c' {
\global
c4~ \once \override Beam.positions = #'(-4.5 . -5) c8 \change Staff="left" \voiceOne b16 a
b8 g a b
}

tenor = \relative c' {
\global
a4. d,8 \voiceThree d2
}

bass = \relative c   {
\global \clef bass
a8 d d d g,2
}

\score {
      \new PianoStaff
      <<
        \new Staff = "right"
        <<
            \soprano \\ \alto
        >>
        \new Staff = "left"
        <<
            \tenor \\ \bass
        >>
      >>
}

Regards,
Auke
