in this example there is a collision between th two first notes of both voices.
<< { d''2 } \\ { \stemUp a8 a' s s } >> how can i shorten the first stem of the 2nd voice without shortening the 2nd stem? i tried lots of items dealing with stems and lengths or how to shorten them: \override Stem #'(details beamed-lengths) = #'(2) % from the snippet http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=681 http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=681 \override Stem #'length-fraction = #0.16 \override Stem #'details #'beamed-lengths = #'(.2) \override Stem #'beamed-stem-shorten = #'( .1) \override Stem #'length = #'.16 and i also added \override Stem #'no-stem-extend = ##t but all unsatisfyingly - the best i could get is: << {d''2} \\ { \stemUp \override Stem #'no-stem-extend = ##t \once \override Stem #'length-fraction = #0.16 b8[ a'] } >> but in the next measure i will have a cis'' which will obviously collide with the beam. it seems that the stem cannot be forced to stop under the middle (b) staff-line. any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/shorten-lengthen-left-right-stem-of-beamed-eighth-tp30676236p30676236.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
