Hello LilyPond Community,
I hope this message finds you well.
I’ve been working on a project using LilyPond’s TabStaff, and I’ve
encountered an issue regarding how half notes are displayed when stems are
enabled. Currently, when using \tabFullNotation to show stems on the
tablature, the half notes are rendered with double stems (two vertical
lines), which is different from the traditional shorter single stem used in
standard notation.
My question is: Is there a setting or option in LilyPond that allows for
changing the default behavior of half note stems in TabStaff? Specifically,
I’m looking for a way to switch the current double-stem display to the more
traditional single, shorter stem that’s commonly used for half notes.
I have tried adjusting various \override settings related to Stem objects,
but so far, I haven’t found a straightforward way to achieve this. If
anyone has experience with this or knows of a solution, I would greatly
appreciate your guidance.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Peter

symbols = {

\score {

<<
\new Staff { \clef "G_8" \symbols }
\new TabStaff { \tabFullNotation \symbols }
