Re: Potential issue 39 fix w/ patch

[Mike Solomon]

Thanks Keith,

I'm sure that you can change stem length at that point in the code.

I'll put together something and send it out.

I don't mind the horizontal shift, as simultaneous notes are always 
horizontally shifted if they are the same notable near neighbors. The problem 
arises when it causes ambiguity in the rhythm.

Anyway, I'll get on your suggestion and will leave it to others to decide which 
one is prettier. In neither case would the solution be very computationally 
expensive.

Cheers,
Mike
