yeah, but now you're really getting nit picky: the code also corrects
for the swapped note head, which happens to be irrelevant in this case
(but is in  a  lot of other cases.) The code in question is in 

        void
        Note_spacing::get_spacing (Grob *me, Item* right_col,
                                   Real base_space, Real increment, Real 
*space, Real *fixed)

Patches appreciated.
