Then I think we might need to find out if \override Beam #'damping = #+inf.0 without any extra tweaks *should* work in all cases or not. If it should then we have a bug and it should be reported as such. yes, i think that the tweak definitely should work without further tweaks. it looks mor

I don't know how the code works, but as someone who browses the LSR I would just say that there is only one tweak needed, but you are implying there are cases when you need more than one tweak. i'm not implying, i'm saying it quite explicitly. and i sent a complete example demonstrating

James, i must say i'm confused by most of your mail... We don't add \overrides (i.e tweaks) to the manual directly. ??? the line \override Beam #'damping = #+inf.0 is in the manual in an example how to make beams horizontal. the manual is actually full of snippets with \overrides, so what
