RE: trouble with alignment for a guitar piece

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Leo,

Yes, thank you.
In measure 2, how to align the c4. with the e2.
In measure 3, why does "\mergeDifferentlyDottedOn" not apply to the g8 and the 
g4?

Mark

For the doubled b (the first notes) you’ll want 

\once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #1

before the b in voice 2
