Hello Marc, I am glad you liked that little code. I tweaked it a bit more, and now I think it looks better. I simply added these lines to each one of the four types of graces:
\override Flag.font-size = -5 \override Stem.length = 3.7 \override Beam.beam-thickness = 0.35 Also, for the appoggiaturas and acciaccaturas, I added the following lines: \shape #'((0 . 0.2) (0 . 0) (0 . 0) (0 . 0)) Slur \override Slur.height-limit = 1 The first line brings the slurs slightly closer to the noteheads (since they are smaller now, this makes it look better). The second line avoid a slur that is too extended in the Y-axis. * * * A hint: when looking for which options can be tweaked or overridden, it is always helpful to search for the interface options. For instance, in the "beam-interface" page (http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/internals/beam_002dinterface), you will find that ther eis an option named "beam-thickness" defined as: beam-thickness (dimension, in staff space): Beam thickness, measured in staff-space units. * * * So here is the updated code: grace_notes_with_smaller_noteheads.ly <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n154251/grace_notes_with_smaller_noteheads.ly> And here are the results: <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n154251/graces.png> Take care, Gilberto -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/smaller-grace-notes-tp154236p154251.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
