Position of note heads in chords

Dear Alexander,

Following the example of the snippet over at LSR:

https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=861

Copying the Scheme code (until where it says “LSR EXAMPLE”), your code could be 
modified to:


\relative c'' {
  <b d>8  

  \displaceHeads #'(0.05 1.05 -0.9)  
  \adjustStem #'(0.75 . -1) 
  <b d e> 

  <b d e f> 

  \displaceHeads #'(0 1 -1 0) 
  <b d e g>
}

I hope this gets closer to what you wish to achieve!

All the best,
Yoshi
