How to offset note to the other side

For a variety of reasons, I want to move the note at the bottom of the chord to the other side of the triad. How can I do that?

For reference, the upper set of notes is created all in one voice and is how I want it. However, when I do the same thing an octave lower, the E moves to the other side. So on this example, I tried putting the triad in one voice and the E in another, but it’s still offset to the right and I want it offset to the left.

Any way to do this?

Voice column index, does this work for you?

That doesn’t seem to do anything. I can move it to the same vertical position as the other 3 notes with a 0, but position 1 is where I had it, and position 2, 3, 4, etc. doesn’t change it. I can’t select a negative position.

Oh wait. I figured it out. It’s here:

Thank you!

Glad you have it working :slight_smile: Wendy.

There is the voice column index and the related offset.
Discussed here, for anyone coming here later.

Are these notes in different voices? Normally, all notes in the same voice take the same column index, so you have to put them in a different voice if you want them to have different indexes.

By default, with all notes in one voice, I get this:

If just the lowest note is in a different voices, I get:

But putting the bottom TWO notes in the same voice gives me this, without any change to the Voice Index:

in the case of whole notes, just flipping the chord also puts the lowest note on the other side by changing the implicit stemming.

All good workarounds! Thank you for the suggestions.

Ah, that’s the reason. Interesting!
