In this case, it seems like the property should
be called positions and not length.
Why, if it's a length?
Length presupposes that the begin position remains
constant
Exactly. That's why it's easy to understand. It
conveys exactly the same meaning as 'height, 'width
and 'thickness. They're all dimensions. I don't
recall 'length ever causing any user confusion.
and the end chagnes, whereas positions should take
a pair that gives the bottom and top of the stencil.
Otherwise, users won't be able to override the beginning
point.
This seems awfully close to reinstating 'stem-end-position
and 'stem-begin-position.
Then, we could have
\override Stem #'positions = #(stem::length whatever)
That seems a terribly confusing way to specify a length!
