Open source code does tend to get worked on by several people simultaneously.

Presumably you have started stomping over the note-collision code.  For 
issue 984 it sounds like we need to work in with individual note shapes, 
rather than pick one note-head as the standard note-head-width.   A small 
change in that direction fixes issue 1713.  I'll post a patch there but 
wait to see if it is compatible with your work.
