I have a situations where there is a tight chord played with two voices. In the example, there is a c and a c-shard played at the same time, but LilyPond is merging the notes. How do I tell LilyPond not to merge note heads?\version "2.19.21"\language "english"<<{ <c''! d''>4 }\\{ cs''4 }>>
I can't say I know what the "right" answer is, but I might have an idea for how to get you past this issue. In some hand-engraved scores I've seen, this situation is remedied by doing a split-stem for the c and cs, but LilyPond doesn't do this very well at the moment, so here are my two suggestions:
1. Force the cs notehead out of the primary column:
<<
{ <c''! d''>4 }
\\
{ \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #-1 cs''4 }
>>
2. Move the d to the other voice, which doesn't require an override:
<<
{ c''!4 }
\\
{ <cs'' d''>4 }

Either way, the accidentals are stacked correctly, so the intention should be clear.
