Re: Making tails of 1/8-notes invisible?

You can always change the space a note occupies by multiplying its 
duration with some value. E.g.

c4*0.5

would make a quarter note that takes up the space of an 1/8th 
note, i.e. an 1/8th note without a flag.

Not sure if this is what you're asking about though...

If you only change the way a notehead *looks* you're not changing 
its duration so it sounds like you're on the right track. Again, I'm 
not sure I understand the issue.
