Here is an example code which just produces a beatiful engraving example:
\score {
\context Staff=i { \simultaneous {
\new Voice \notes {
\property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(1 . 3)
c'8[ e' c' e']
\property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(3 . 1)
c'8[ e' c' e']
}
\new Voice \notes {
\property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(1 . 2)
c'8[ e' c' e']
\property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(2 . 1)
c'8[ e' c' e']
}
\new Voice \notes {
\property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(1 . 1)
c'8[ e' c' e']
\property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(1 . 1)
c'8[ e' c' e']
}
} }
\paper { }
}
It is that simple!
