horizontal shift of notes not working

[Tom Cloyd]

I've gotten this to work fine, until now. It's not working at all. In 
the score code below, measure 15 is the problem. On the third beat, I 
need to shift either of the top two notes to the right. I've tried to 
shift both. Neither will budge a bit. In the score below I'm trying to 
shift the top note. It's not working.

Can someone tell me why?

Thanks, in advance...
