Whole note chord with half note middle voice overlaps

• Jan 21, 2013 - 00:22

When having a whole note Chord (e.g. C-G-C) and adding a second voice with half tones as a middle voice (e.g. 4-3 suspension, F-E in this case), the half tone note which starts with the whole tone Chord overlaps the half tone.

The half tone note should be right next to the chord like it works with half tone chords. So it seems to be a bug. Didn't find anything similar here in the forum, and there is nothing to find in the handbook.

It is not possible, to spread the whole note chord from the half tone note manually what would be great to have.
In spite of this does anybody have a solution or a workaround?

Please look at the example. Difficult to explain with words...

You can try to select the quarter note,
right click to get the Chord Properties popup,
and change Note head position to Left of stem.

There's probably a shortcut for it, but I don't know what it is.
