Title Leland music font: whole notes with diamond noteheads in different voices do not line up ⇒ Leland music font: horizontal mismatch of whole notes with diamond noteheads
Workaround No ⇒ Yes

That seems to be due to their 'virtual' stems, so the workaround is it flip that (select note, press X)

I didn't intend to change the title

Actually not specifically a Leland issue; Leland doesn't even contain its own whole-note diamond symbol yet, so this is coming from Bravura. The problem would be the same with Bravura itself and any font that uses it as a fallback.

I believe there is code special-casing whole notes on the assumption they are wider than the standard notehead and making calculations accordingly. My guess is those calculations do unexpected things if it fact they are narrower.
