Not necassary. See example below.

You could use 'offset'
Example:
\version "2.19.15"
\relative {
\once \offset positions #'(-1 . -1) Beam
b8 b b b
\once \offset positions #'(1 . -1) Beam
b c d e
\override Stem.details.beamed-lengths =
#'(2.26 4.5 13.6)
%% default is '(3.26 3.5 3.6)
%% determing length for beamed 8 16 32-and-shorter
\override Stem.no-stem-extend = ##t
b b b b
b16 c d e
f32 g a b c d e f
}
Cheers,
