Hello, I overrode the default beam thickness, as the beams looked a tad scrawny to me. At 0.7 staff spaces, they look much better to my taste. However, increasing the thickness makes the lower beams of 16th and 32nd notes run into the upper beams, creating the appearance of a single, massive beam. I scoured the IR manual looking for anything that might set the padding between the upper and lower beams and/or set the position of lower beams, to no avail. Increasing the stem length does not seem to have any affect. The following code block demonstrates the issue:
% begin code \version "2.14.0" data = {f8 f f16 f f f f32 f f f f f f f } \score { \relative c' { f4^\markup {Default beams} \data \override Beam #'beam-thickness = #0.7 f4^\markup {Thicker beams collide} \data } } % end code Anyway to ensure padding between the beam levels, or to shift the lower beams closer to the note heads? Thanks in advance for any and all help, Champion James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
