Hello,
I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional behavior, but the following
example using NoteColumn.force-hshift illustrates the problem where I
have a dotted eigth followed by a sixteenth in one voice and then a
quarter in the other voice. In this arrangement, it seems that the
quarter note steals the dot from the eigth note.
I have shifted it more than desirable intentionally to isolate the notes
more for the illustration:
%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.24.2"
\new PianoStaff {
<<
\new Staff {
<<
\new Voice {
\relative c' {
\time 3/4
\voiceOne
s2 \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #-3 b8. b16
}
}
\new Voice {
\relative c' {
\voiceTwo
s2 a4
}
}
>>
}
\new Staff {
\relative c' {
\clef "bass"
a4 a a
}
}
>>
}
%%%%%%%%%
Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?
Thanks,
Andy
