Wrong note-placement in specific conditions?
Hi all,
In the attached score (made with MuS 3.2.3.635) measure 52 has got three voices with last note of voice 1 being a G.
But so it’s last note of voice 2 and MuS makes the two notes to coincide space-wise, whereas the note of voice 1 should be displaced as in the excerpt from the original paper score (see second attachment).
At least that is what I expected it to do.
Am I setting myself Oblivion-piano.mscz
the wrong expectation? Thanks,

From looking at the picture, it looks like the voice 2 chord is what is offset, voice 1 lines up with the bass. No matter how you decide to fix this, select a note you want to move (if you choose voice just click the E) and open the inpsector (F8) and use the chord section to change the X offset. Positive numbers move the chord/note right, negative numbers move it left.

Thanks for the suggested workaround.

The most common notation is that the notes will share a note head, but sometimes it helps the musician to see the different melody lines as in this case, so the workaround is necessary for the less common case.
I would say it is the wrong expectation - this isn't the standard way of notating this, so people - especially pianists - aren't accustomed to seeing it, and it will be more confusing than the standard notation where the notehead is shared. So unless you have a special need to go with the non-standard notation, I'd just leave it as is. But yes, to create the non-standard notation, you can use the Inspector.
