Re: Exact stem length?

[Fredrik Wallberg]

Hi Urs,

> - How could I remove the gap between the first two stems?

Maybe try with a temporary

\set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)

for that particular group of notes?
As for the beam lengths, I'm not sure what the best solution would be --

\override Stem.details.beamed-lengths = #'(10 20 3)

works fine for controlling the _length_ of beams, of course (which I'm
sure you aware of), but since you also want to influence the melodic
contour of the gesture via pitches, I'm not sure that will help. If
there is a way to override the distance between notehead and stem...
will get back to you if something comes to mind.
