Hi James, I was not able to reproduce the stem length shown on your picture. Please be so kind to send compilable example including the version you're using.
Doc's here: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/fixing-overlapping-notation#the-positions-property And here's two possibilities: \version "2.18.2" \relative { \clef "tenor" \omit Staff.TimeSignature aes4. g8 ~ g4 r8 \p \afterGrace c8 ( \mp\< { d16 [ e ] } f8 \> e ) d16 ( c8. ) \! f,4. r8 r2 r4 \clef bass \afterGrace d4 \mp _( { \override Beam.positions = #'(2 . 1.5) des16 [ c ] } b4. ) \< g8 ~ g16 f8. c4-> ~ \f } And : \version "2.19" \relative { \clef "tenor" \omit Staff.TimeSignature aes4. g8 ~ g4 r8 \p \afterGrace c8 ( \mp\< { d16 [ e ] } f8 \> e ) d16 ( c8. ) \! f,4. r8 r2 r4 \clef bass \afterGrace d4 \mp _( { \offset positions #'(-1 . -1) Beam des16 [ c ] } b4. ) \< g8 ~ g16 f8. c4-> ~ \f } Cheers, Pierre 2015-07-07 13:13 GMT+02:00 James Harkins <jamshar...@qq.com>: > Hi, I have a couple of \afterGrace's in close proximity.
