New issue 2258 by address@hidden: Bad regression  
test 'beam-shortened-lengths.ly'
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2258

LilyPond usually shortens stems as the test criterion describes,

\header{  texidoc="Beams in unnatural direction, have shortened stems,
but do not look too short."}

but the override in the regression test itself changes LilyPond's output  
from good, to bad. (The details of the override changed at commit  
1d9a73b13e  but the output is bad in the same way both before and after the  
change.)

User scores will not use this override, so they are not affected, but the  
regression test is useless and distracting until it is fixed.

The regression test went bad between 2.14.2 and 2.15.14
