If you read the source code of the function Beam::get_beam_translation in ly/beam.cc, you'll see that this distance is hard-coded at the moment.

What is the name of the variable for the distance between beam-lines?
If there is such a variable it would improve the engraving
on which I am working, Chopin op. 28.1. I could need it for several other pieces too.
The example shows the beams of the inner voice just keeping
distance from notes/lines, and all is well. It would be even
better with smaller beams, though. I tried
\property Voice.fontSize = #-1
but that makes noteheads smaller too.
I hope this is not too much of a beginner/FAQ question, I have tried to find examples but cannot - maybe there isn't and then that would be nice to know.
% force direction of stems u = \stemUp d = \stemDown b = \stemBoth
% explicit staff change su = \notes{ \translator Staff = upper} sd = \notes{ \translator Staff = lower}
%bar 5 \times 2/3 {r16 \su \u e' a' } \once \property Voice.NoteColumn \set #'horizontal-shift = #1 \once \property Voice.Beam \override #'thickness = #0.34 \once \property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'( 2.1 . -0.4) %% no, no. \once \property Voice.fontSize = #-1 \times 2/3 { c'' a' d' } |
