After some thinking, I would like to change the `padding' for beams so that the skyline's distance from the beam gets enlarged. I tried \once \override Beam.skyline-horizontal-padding = #50 and surprisingly it does what I want in my score. Unfortunately, I don't understand why, and in the example I've sent to the list it has no effect. What is the number good for? And especially, what dimension?
