I hope this will be a quick answer.
I am currently preparing scores, vocal SATB, but the publisher thinks
the Bass staff stem length are not long enough.
Is there a way to keep the auto-length but increase the length by,
maybe, a percent value? I think I need around 105 or 106 percent of
the original length.
\override Stem #'length-fraction = #(magstep 0.5)
It scales the length in proportion to the font size. The argument is
the change in font size. Since each step up is an increase of
approximately 12% of the font size, a value of 0.5 should be equal to
106 percent (default value is 0).
But I think there are other factors that influence stem length (IIRC
for example, there is a rule for low notes with stem up that say the
stem should go to the middle of the staff).
Cheers,
Xavier
