https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/798 originally abt stems being too short, from a mailing thread that devolved into a fight :( the problem’s been solved. the stems are all correct length now
output from the code in the issue, v2.13.3: [image: image.png] current output, v2.25.31: [image: image.png] you can also see several other ways ly has improved :) but yeah the free stems are 3.5 staff-spaces long counting from mid-notehead, beamed stem lengths are great, the only problem is the beam slant of the 3rd beat group isn't quite perfect, which is being looked into itself. pretty sure the issue is good to close
