Betreff:     NoteHead alignment with no stem

Hello,

{
  <c' \tweak font-size #-3 e'>1
  <c'' \tweak font-size #-3 e''>
}
produces two chords with two semibreves each, the one normal-sized, the  
other smaller.

The attached output from 2.19.3 shows that they are (left-/right-)aligned  
as if they had stems. This looks ill-balanced, in my eyes they should  
rather be center-aligned (and I might say I've already seen this in printed  
music, but it's not like I could give an example or confirm that it's  
authoritative in any way...).

If I understood it correctly, chord notes have invisible stems, even if no  
stem is printed, which would serve as an explanation. However, the  
behaviour is the same with two voices instead of a chord, when there is no  
stem at all:

<< e'1 \\ { \override NoteHead. font-size = #-3 c'1 } >>

Just didn't want to leave it unmentioned
Best regards,

Simon

P.S. Forgot to point out the similarity to issue 3543
<http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3543> with harmonic  
notes.
