In reply to Daniel Spreadbury.

@Daniel, thanks so much for considering my comments and responding with the updated rendering! It looks much better; however, the crossed voices still leap out as wrong. I understand what you wrote "If you would prefer ... less space between interlocking voices, you can tweak this in the application’s engraving options" which is reasonable and I'm glad it is something that can be tweaked, but the application by default should render crossed voices in polyphony according to the following aim: align the note heads as closely as possible without touching stems or flags. The best engraved scores of contrapuntal keyboard music all use this principle. It is very important also when multiple parts create "chords" that need to be notated with independent stems. The voices cascade according to the principle - note heads aligned as closely as possible without touching stems or clashing flags.
