Re: Offset computed beam position

[Dimitris Marinakis]

Thanks Jean & Kieren!

For some reason I thought this wasn't the case. I remember Glissando offset used to have absolute positions and I assumed this was the case for beams.

I should have done my research first.

Best,

Hi Dimitris,

Did you try doing a web search for "Lilypond offset beam"?  ;)

The very first hit (at least for me) is https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/notation/the-offset-command, which includes the command you want, and even an example applying it to Beam.

Hope that helps!
