Re: How to avoid a collision?

May I ask why you’re not using Lilypond’s built-in (and generallly excellent) voice-handling? e.g. In the modified snippet (below), I’m using \voiceOne, \voiceTwo, etc., which eliminates the need for \stemUp, \tieDown, etc., and appears (to my eye) to eliminate all note collisions.

Simply because, I'm learning Lilypond since only a few days.

Your solution avoids the collision at the third measure, but introduces an horizontal shift at the fourth measure, which I'd like to prevent. Is it possible?

 

p.s. Also note that I abstracted your note code from your score code — it is so much easier to read and debug this way, in my opinion, and it keeps the score block as clean and simple as possible.

Thank you very much for your advice. As a beginner, where can I learn how to write a better code?
