Is there a way to make the tails of un-beamed 1/8-notes invisible in Lilypond? A colleague and I are working on a transcription project which includes some plainsong pieces notated in both medieval-style notation and in more modern-looking notation, which has the unusual characteristic of using notes that resemble beamed 1/2-notes to represent ligatures. You can get an idea of what we want the output to look like here:
http://www.box.net/shared/dttk0z54eq My colleague has discovered how to get Lilypond to make note-heads white no matter what the note-length is, so our first approach has been to represent the beamed notes as 1/8-notes and the unbeamed ones as 1/4-notes, but we would prefer to come up with a way that would allow us to maintain rhythmic integrity in the Lilypond code (since beamed and unbeamed "1/2-notes" represent notes of the same length). This would simplify the creation of accompanying MIDI files, among other benefits. So if anyone knows of a way to make note-tails invisible, I'd be very grateful to learn about it. Thanks!
