Hello, Is there a way to manually move some of the notes in a chord to
the opposite side of the stem, overriding the default placement? I have looked through the docs and did not find a simple way to do this (the NoteColumn #'force-hshift property only works
with notes in different voices, and trying to \override NoteHead
#'X-offset within a chord just returned an error). The best
thing I came up with was this snippet:http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=505 Following its example I was able to get the results I needed by doing this: shiftR = {
\once \override Stem #'X-offset = #.6 \once \override NoteHead #'X-offset = #.6 } <c' e' g' >4 << { <c' e'> } \\ { \voiceThree \shiftR g' } >> <d' f' a'> << { d' } \\ { \voiceThree \shiftR < f' a'> } >> See attached screenshot. But it seems like there should be a way to do this without having to introduce another voice? Or maybe not... I realize this is a relatively obscure usage. (Ultimately, I would like for the notes in harmonic intervals of 3 semitones or smaller to always appear on opposite sides of the stem. But I would not know how to do that automatically, if it is even possible.) Thanks! -Paul http://twinnote.org |
