Hi Arle,
please:
DON'T POST INLINE-IMAGES!
Attach them!
I'm surely not alone with filtering them out.
If I want to see what image you posted, I have to refer to the archives (or
change my filter-settings and I will _not_ do that).
This doesn't boost my motivation to work on your problem.
That said, on topic:
You may want to use the code below to lengthen an unbeamed stem for 8th or
shorter.
Sometimes LilyPond does a long stem, so I provided a reverting, too.
\version "2.16.1"
stemAdd =
#(define-music-function (parser location stem-add)(number?)
"
Adds the value of stem-add to the length of the unbeamed stems of 8th and
shorter.
"
#{
\override Stem #'after-line-breaking =
#(lambda (grob)
(let* ((dur (ly:grob-property grob 'duration-log))
(nc (ly:grob-parent grob Y))
(beam? (ly:grob? (ly:grob-object grob 'beam)))
(lngth (if (not beam?)(ly:grob-property grob 'length))))
(if (and (not beam?) (>= dur 3))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'length (+ stem-add lngth))
#f)))
#})
revertStemAdd = \revert Stem #'after-line-breaking
\layout {
\stemAdd #1
}
\relative c' {
\voiceTwo
\autoBeamOff
<d f a c>8
d4
d8
d8[ e]
d16
d32
d64
d'64
\revertStemAdd
d'8 |
}
HTH,
Harm
