Hi Holland, this is perhaps a bit closer to what you want:
\version "2.18.0" longStem = { \once \override Stem.Y-offset = 6 \once \override Stem.Y-extent = #'(-7.0 . 0.0) \once \override Stem.length = 12 \once \override Stem.layer = -2 } \new TabStaff { \set TabStaff.instrumentName = "Banjo" \set TabStaff.tablatureFormat = #fret-number-tablature-format-banjo \set TabStaff.stringTunings = #banjo-open-g-tuning %gDGBD \tabFullNotation \numericTimeSignature \clef moderntab \relative c' { \time 4/4 \once \override Beam.positions = #'(-5 . -5) g8 \longStem < g'\5 d >8 r2. |g,8 %moves the flag to the end of the moved stem \longStem < g'\5 d >8 } % end of banjo notes } % end of banjo voice But it is still not automatic.
