I wanted to lengthen the stem of a pair of tied chords, but it didn't work as
expected. After some playing around, I found that I cannot tweak the
properties of a chord represented by q (repeating the previous chord), but that
the tweaks on the original chord get carried over. This example shows the
possibilities:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.23.80"
{
\clef bass
\voiceTwo
<a,^~ a,,_~>2
\tweak Stem.length #15
q8 r4. |
\tweak Stem.length #15
<a,^~ a,,_~>2
q8 r4. |
<a,^~ a,,_~>2
\tweak Stem.length #15
<a, a,,>8 r4. |
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
This may be logical in the code, but it surprised me in practical use.
