Hi Paolo, The main problem here is that \tweak can only modify the object that is next to it, so you can tweak a NoteHead to modify an automatic beam, but to modify a beam that is created manually because of a [ in the input you need to place the tweak before the [. See:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.19.83" \relative { c'8[ \tweak Beam.color #red d] %doesn't work \tweak Beam.color #red e f %works \tweak Beam.color #red g[ a] %doesn't work b -\tweak Beam.color #red [ c ] %works } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% That said, I modified the function you sent so that it also considerds NoteEvents and modifies the automatically created beams with the desired properties: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.19.83" token = #(let* ((ctr 0) (ctr! (lambda () (set! ctr (1+ ctr)) ctr))) (define-music-function (mus) (ly:music?) (let* ((id (format #f "foobar_~a" (ctr!))) (type (ly:music-property mus 'name)) (mexp (case type ((BeamEvent NoteEvent) #{ \tweak Beam.after-line-breaking #(lambda (grob) (let* ((outprop (ly:grob-property grob 'output-attributes)) (beam-thickness (ly:grob-property grob 'beam-thickness)) (outprop (append outprop `((beam-thickness . ,beam-thickness))))) ;(display (format #f "\n****\n~a\n****\n" beam-thickness)) (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'output-attributes outprop))) \tweak Beam.output-attributes.id #id #mus #} ) (else #{ \tweak output-attributes.id #id #mus #} )))) mexp))) \relative { c'4 d8-\token [ e ] \token f g c,4 } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The code could be cleaner I think, I'll try to improve it if I get some free time. Meanwhile I hope this helps El dom., 22 dic. 2019 a las 7:58, Paolo Prete (<paolopr...@gmail.com>) escribió: > Hello all. > > the following function (thanks to Stefano!) inserts the beam-thickness > property of a Beam in the list of output-attributes of the corresponding > SVG item.
