knowledge of the program.

Many thanks again to all of you for your answers.

I leave it as an exercise for you to check the NR (Notation Reference)
for how to make the beam flat.

Hi Victor,

It seems like you're having problems understanding the next step and how 
to discover the answer. Here is one way of looking at solving your problem.


{
  \clef bass
  \once \override Beam.positions = #'(1 . 1)
  \stemUp
  b,8
  \stemDown
  b8 b b
  \override Beam.damping = #2
  b b g g
}

Quick summary: by using the override and setting both to the same value, 
you essentially create a flat beam. And since your attached photo shows 
the beam going across the F line, the pair 1 . 1 seems to work fine in 
this case. (see attached)


Do you follow? :)

In several different sections of the comprehensive documentation you'll 
find code that concerns beams, slopes, and overrides. Check out the 
sections that talk about "manually controlling beam positions etc." or 
something similar.


Hope that helps you narrow it down, and by reverse engineering code to 
see how we arrive at solutions you learn to look at things from a 
different angle. Everyone learns differently. Forwards or backwards, 
it's all the same.


LilyPond has a lot of power, and you'll find what works for you!

Good luck!

Hi Victor,

You will note in my post I left it to you to find out from reading the NR
how to set the beam slope. It's not hard. But better if you learn than I
just write it for you!

No kidding ?...
Anyway, Victor wrote: " I'm transcribing Beethoven Symphonies [...]", so I
suppose it's not an urtext edition.
It was just a simple remark, nothing else.
(Lots of late 18th-19th century edition have this type of notation for
paper size issues.)
Plus, I'd be surprised if the LVB manuscript shows the same stem
direction...
Cheers,
