Hi Richard
I quote from the Notation Reference:
"The \shiftOn command allows (but does not force) the notes in a voice to be
shifted. When \shiftOn is applied to a voice, a note or chord in that voice is
shifted only if its stem would otherwise collide with a stem from another
voice, and only if the colliding stems point in the same direction. The
\shiftOff command prevents this type of shifting from occurring."
See
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices#collision-resolution
So unless there is a collision of notes the shift commands have no effect.
You'll find a clue for doing what you want if you examine the example here:
