I can't currently look into your examples. But one hint (because horizontal shifting has driven me nuts before): when two notes share the same notecolumn you can't shift them separately. So they must not have the same \voiceXXX.

My ly code problem demo snippet is here: http://pastie.org/8433947

After two hours of futility tonight, and a review of my previous go
around with this problem, I still can't figure this out. Never really
understood "the fix", although I did get it work, once.

- the previous problem:

- the fix:

Am I the only one who ever needs to shift notes horizontally to clean up
a score? Seem hard to believe. But it doesn't work reliably, and the
documentation is minimal at best.

In the code snippet, in the bass voice, measures 2, 3, & 4 there is no
column collision. Then suddenly in m. 5 - BAM. But it's fixable (and
fixed, in the code). An attempt to fix the collision by moving the alto
voice in the same measure failed. Why?

Measure 7 bass and alto voices won't budge, period. Am baffled by this.

Beat 1 of measures 8, 9 have the same problem (as does much of my score).

There appears to be NO other way to move notes out of vertical
collisions. With this barely working, what do people do?

Thanks for any help!
