Gilberto, Many thanks for the explanation of the parameters. Help like yours increases my knowledge and my ability to use Lilypond.

The Beam #'positions always take a pair of numbers as argument, written as = #'(n . m), where n and m are the absolute position of the beginning of the beam and the end of the beam, respectively (unit = distance between two staff lines). n and m can be negative values and they do not need to be multiples of unit (so for instance, you can write \override Beam #'positions = #'(-1.2 . 3.75) ) Some examples: \override Beam #'positions = #'(0 . 0) would create a flat beam exactly on the centre line of the staff; \override Beam #'positions = #'(0 . 2) will be a beam from the centre line of the staff to the top of it (2 spaces above).
