Hi,

Is there any functionality to notate horizontal beams? I'm notating drum music
and the beams are typically drawn horizontally to avoid slanted beams becoming
distracting.

Hi David,

Try overriding the 'positions attribute of the Beam grob with a
same-valued pair.

%%% FLAT BEAM EXAMPLE %%%

\version "2.9.18"

\new Staff {
       \override Beam #'positions = #'(4 . 4)
       c'8[ d'8 e'8 f'8]
       f'8[ e'8 d'8 c'8]
}

%%% END %%%


The Beam grob is documented here:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/Beam.html#Beam

And the complete list of attributes in the beam-interface is found here:
