RE: Need help with \force-hshift or \shiftO... (off, on, onn, onnn, etc.)

Kevin,

Form what I see, the voices are interchanged.
What is in voiceOne should be voiceTwo and vice versa.
See:

In my more-than-minimal example, the b16 from the first voice gets merged with 
the b8. from the second voice. When I tried to create a minimum (non-working) 
example, the two didn't merge. But, what I want below is for the b8. from the 
first voice to merge with the b8. from the second voice.

In other words, it should look like b16 b8. g16 with the b8. in the middle 
having stems going both directions.  Looking at examples that were over my 
head, I attempted \override \once \force-hshift in various places, but didn't 
accomplish anything.

      { \voiceOne b'16 b8. }
      \new Voice
      { \voiceTwo b8. g16 }
    >>

    a8 b8 c4 r8 d8
  }
}

\score {
  \new Staff { \melody }
}

P.S. I think I'm interpreting the attached image correctly, but I could be 
wrong about that. In any case, that's what I'm trying to achieve in LilyPond.
