Stem lenght and ledger lines

[foxfanfare]

Quote from Gould's book: The outer stave-lines must be clearly visible; tails
closer to noteheades will obscure ledger lines

\version "2.19.80"
\relative c' {

  \cadenzaOn
  \omit Score.TimeSignature  
  \autoBeamOff  
  e''8 e16 e32 a64 
}

You can see Lilypond does this for 8th and 16th notes, but not further by
default!

Manual corrected version:

\version "2.19.80"
\relative c' {

  \cadenzaOn
  \omit Score.TimeSignature  
  \autoBeamOff  
  e''8 e16 
  \override Stem #'length-fraction = #(magstep 2.75) 
  e32 
  \override Stem #'length-fraction = #(magstep 4.25) 
  a64
}
