[code example snipped]

I'm not sure I understand you. Do you want the dotted half-note d in Bar 
5 moved to the left of the quarter note d (of the 2nd voice) similar to 
what we see in bar 7?

If so, that would create a rather large shift of the quarter note d (of 
the 2nd voice) - it would basically start where the 2n quarter note d is 
now. Such a placement would very much irritate as it would like as if 
there is a rest missing on the first beat.

Or am I misunderstanding you?

Kind regards,
Michael
