LilyPond tries to mimick traditional engraving. There are bugs,
however, saying I find xx is too short is not helpful.
I thought I was fairly clear about the specifics―“I find the stem
here awfully short because it makes the flag on the eighth note run

The score I am working from was printed in Boston in the 1860s. It was
relatively clear, but the corrected version of 1874 was loaded with junk:
pervasive fingerings, nonsensical slurs, seemingly random articulation marks.
So much was loaded in that it looks like a rat's nest.

Thanks for pointing out the regional and temporal variations at work here.
That tells me the Lilypond default isn't a bug. It is just a difference of

…how can you be so sure that the LilyPond output wrong?
I'm not at all sure it is wrong, but as Werner points out, there were

Hi Arle, Jan,
I apologize having been impolite.
Attach them!
I'm surely not alone with filtering them out.
Why would anyone do that?
No worries at all. If most people were “impolite” in the same way (offering
solutions and helping) the world would be better off. Since you've helped me

I will look at that. See my note below: I think the default values are a

Uhmm, no. I've never done that. Using the `mew' e-mail reader
