Dear All,

Thank you for the suggestions. Overriding the Beam positions did the trick!

Hi Kevin,Apart from changing the Stem length-fraction (either by scheme commands or an accustomed \override), as soon as beams come into play, the beams, i. e. their positions and slopes will determine the stem lengths. That's why it's no use trying to override the Stem #'length.So, if anything else fails, as a last resort, there's always the possibilty to set the Beam #'position manually - this does apply to both grace notes and "ordinary" ones.Or, as Bill Shakespeare would have said: "It was the Beame, and not the Stemme."  ;)Slán,Torsten

Hi Kevin,Try this :\new Staff {    $(add-grace-property 'Voice 'Stem 'length-fraction '2)

Dear LilyPond users,

Occasionally I find the stem lengths of grace notes to be too long, as in the following example, where the grace 32s have longer stems than the normal ones (because of the slope I think):

\version "2.16.2"

\relative a' {
  s  a32 \afterGrace a { b32[ g] } a8
}

I have tried to alter them with various overrides, including
\override Stem #'(details beamed-lengths) = #'(2)
but they mostly have no effect.  Only
\override Stem #'length-fraction = #0.5
sometimes works for reasons I don't really understand (the behaviour of this property seems unpredictable - different values have odd effects) I gather it's not for this purpose, but I was just trying everything I could find in the internals manual. Could anyone shed some light?

Hi Kevin,

Try this :

\new Staff {
$(add-grace-property 'Voice 'Stem 'length-fraction '2)
\new Voice {
\relative a' {
s  a32 \afterGrace a { b32[ g] } a8
}
}
}

grace note stem lengths

2013-03-14 Thread Kevin Barry

Dear LilyPond users,

Occasionally I find the stem lengths of grace notes to be too long, as 
in the following example, where the grace 32s have longer stems than the 
normal ones (because of the slope I think):


\version "2.16.2"

\relative a' {
  s  a32 \afterGrace a { b32[ g] } a8
}

I have tried to alter them with various overrides, including
\override Stem #'(details beamed-lengths) = #'(2)
but they mostly have no effect.  Only
\override Stem #'length-fraction = #0.5
sometimes works for reasons I don't really understand (the behaviour of 
this property seems unpredictable - different values have odd effects) I 
gather it's not for this purpose, but I was just trying everything I 
could find in the internals manual. Could anyone shed some light?
