I tried to set :

\property Voice.Beam \set #'staff-position = #7

for two notes in different voices (soprano and alt).

That worked for notes like

 #####   <- this position higher
 |   |
 |   |
O/  O/

but not for notes like

 |\      <- this position cannot be set higher.
 | )
 |
O/


That is a problem when I wanted to merge two notes from different voices 

 |\      <- not possible
 | )
 |
O|
 |
O/

but got instead the nonmerged one:

 |\      <- not possible
 | )
 |\
O| )
 |
O/

In the example file 'example.ly' is sample from the test. The problem
raised when I was typing some quite tricky polyphonic music of
Rachmaninoff. I am quite new to lilypond syntax, but eager to make it
work nice. Hence this might also by my own mistake if I don't know
right property to use.

I used the development version lilypond 1.5.6.
