Description
Your idea
I propose to implement the function of automatic alignment of the notes of the 3rd and subsequent voices on the note carrier. We are talking about the mutual arrangement of the noteheads, stems (and their lengths as well) and beams. It is necessary to center all this in such a way as to distinguish the individual voices.
Problem to be solved
This will avoid confusion when entering/reading/editing 3 or more voices on the staff. Currently, the problem is that the 3rd and subsequent votes are not aligned as such, but merge with the 1st and/or 2nd votes. The result is confusion, merging stems, beams, noteheads, etc. And yes, the user can adjust the whole thing manually, but it takes time. In addition, it should be noted that any even minor adjustments to the layout of the score can simply reset the user's manual adjustments.
Prior art
Dorico automatically aligns the 3rd and subsequent voices by shifting the noteheads, stems and beams so that they do not merge with each other.
