Referring to this 10-yr-old inquiry, I'm working on the exact same bar Alex
typeset:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2004-02/msg00086.html
NR led me to overriding the beam font-size to cause the 16th beam to engrave
thinner and with smaller gap between them (as graces do). Beam, although
documented to support the font-size interface, doesn't seem to be affected by
overrides to this property:
\version "2.18.0"
\relative c' {
%normal notes & beams
d16 e f g
%smaller note heads work
\override NoteHead.font-size = #-4
d e f g
\revert NoteHead.font-size
% smaller beam command
% doesn't seem to make any difference
\override Beam.font-size = #-4
d e f g
\revert Beam.font-size
%print graces for reference
\grace { d e f g }
%back to normal
d e f g
}
Any ideas of how to scale beams down?
