Hi Javier, try: \version "2.18.0" \relative c' { \once \override Beam.beam-thickness = #0.2 \once \override Beam.length-fraction = #0.3 %% Uncomment if wanted/needed: %\once \override Beam.positions = #'(-1 . 0.4) d16 e f g } HTH, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
