Actually, making a couple other measures wider would likely also do the trick. In trying to create a small file which demonstrates the problem I am mystified as when I excerpt the section I want to change the excerpt doesn't display the problem. I'll have to try to see why. Another thing I want to do is to shorten the stems on some beamed notes. I can shorten them on separately flagged ones, but I have not found how to shorten beamed stems. Hints?

There are some ad hoc solutions for specific cases (that mostly make a bar /wider/) but your question doesn't give enough information to suggest a solution. Could you perhaps create a tiny example that illustrates your problem and hopefully we will be able to suggest a solution.
