With these lines, the stencil is not ##f (false) as it is by using

Thank you, Joram

Hi Federico,

> I mean the width of the beam. 

The beam is as wide as the notes (stems) are separated, so you want to
reduce the distance between note heads. Perhaps that seems nitpicking
but it makes clear that you want to change spacings or extents of
noteheads etc. and no beam property.

I have no better solution than you found yourself. Perhaps this is a bit
nicer as the glissando still points to the place where the a is located
on the staff:

 \once \override NoteHead.stencil = #point-stencil
 \once \override TabNoteHead.stencil = #point-stencil

With these lines, the stencil is not ##f (false) as it is by using
\omit, but there is a still a note head without a size.

Cheers,
Joram

I mean the width of the beam. Changing ragged-right helps in the 
minimal example but not in the real score I'm working on.


I must  omit NoteHead to reduce the space taken by the hidden grace 
note.

I rewrote this way and it works:

\version "2.19.37"

myMusic = \relative {
 cis'8\3\glissando
   %\hideNotes
   \once \omit NoteHead
   \once \omit Stem
   \once \omit TabNoteHead
   \once \omit Flag
   \grace a
   %\unHideNotes
   e'
 s1*3
}

\score {
 \new StaffGroup <<
   \new Staff { \clef "treble_8" \myMusic }
   \new TabStaff { \clef "moderntab" \new TabVoice \myMusic }
 >>
 \layout { indent = 0 }
}

\paper {
 ragged-right = ##f
}

Hi Federico,

Do you actually mean the thickness of the beam, or the length of the beam? If 
the latter, use ragged-right = ##t to see what is happening.

Hi all

How can I (slightly) reduce the beam width in the attached example?

By the help of this nice function [1]: The default beam-thickness is 0.48.

Hi Federico,

> How can I (slightly) reduce the beam width in the attached example?

I guess what you are looking for is the beam thickness:
  \override Beam.beam-thickness = 0.3 % default is somewhere near 0.5
In your example:


\version "2.19.37"

myMusic = \relative {
  cis'8\3\glissando \hideNotes \grace a \unHideNotes e' s2
}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff { \clef "treble_8" \myMusic }
\new TabStaff { \clef "moderntab" \new TabVoice \myMusic }
  >>
  \layout {
indent = 0
\override Beam.beam-thickness = 0.4
  }
}

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##t
}

HTH,
Joram
