1. Is it possible to put a slight slope on beams which Lilypond defaults to engraving as flat? I've found out how to flatten a sloped beam but not the reverse. Where I've got a whole page of arpeggiated 16th notes, I think it looks better to have them all slightly sloping than flat.
2. I'm trying to put some guitar barring indications into a piece. I found a piece on the Mutopia web site with what I wanted (Adelita by Tarrega - http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/make-table.cgi?Composer=TarregaF), but when I copied the relevant sections into my source, instead of the proper barring indication I just get a dotted line at the point where the indication should be. I tested the Mutopia source adelita.ly file with Lilypond 2.11.58 on my XP machine and got the same problem with the barring being replaced with dotted lines, so I'm not sure what is causing this. I've attached a couple of images, one showing the part of the Adelita PDF file that I downloaded from Mutopia and the other showing the same part of the PDF file generated on my machine from the Mutopia source file.
