Re: Accent size and stem length
Thank you for the answers, Leo and Paul! It seems that \override Script.font-size = #-1.5 works nicely, at least for now. There is something about the stems that doesn't look right to my eye, but maybe it is not the length. Best, Erika

Re: Accent size and stem length
Hi Erika! To globally reduce the size of all articulations (I think that could be relevant, since many of them will relate to noteheads in a way similar to accents) you can use this next to the override for notehead fint size. \override Script.font-size = #-.5 % or whatever size you want If you want to resize just the accents you could try the suggestions mentioned in this thread: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2021-09/msg00484.html As Paul wrote the stem extending to the middle line of the staff follows convention, but this can be suppressed by \override Stem.no-stem-extend = ##t Hope this helped /Leo > 10 feb. 2022 kl. 19:01 skrev Paul Hodges : > > From: Erika Pirnes > > The other thing is to have a more consistent length for stems.

Re: Accent size and stem length
From: Erika Pirnes The other thing is to have a more consistent length for stems. In my minimal example, the stems in the first measure look too short because in both measures they extend to the middle line. Any ideas? I don't know about the accent question. But as for the stems, the shorter ones in your example are the usual length (one octave), and the longer ones follow the traditional convention (applied by LilyPond as well as publishers in general) that stems of notes well outside the stave are extended to the middle line of the stave. In music in parts, stems facing away from the stave may be somewhat shortened; I don't know whether LilyPond does this as well. Paul
