your lily-code doesn't compile. Lot's of: i-just-snippet.ly:122:9: error: cannot find file: `i-just-keep-trusting-my-lord(SA).ly' etc. Please post a compiling and short example! Anyway, maybe you can use some of these ideas: \version "2.14.0" \paper { ragged-right = ##t } stL = #(define-music-function (parser location y-length)(number?) #{ \once \override Stem #'stencil = #(lambda (grob) (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'stem-end-position $y-length) (ly:stem::print grob)) #}) \relative c' { \stL #8 c d \stL #1.5 e f \break c8 c d d \once \override Beam #'positions = #'(6 . 6) e[ e] \once \override Beam #'positions = #'(0 . 0) f f } HTH, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
