Re: smaller grace notes

That is an interesting but complex snippet which looks like a nuclear option for what I need: changing the thickness of the flag or at least the thickness of the slash. I went through the multiple scan of the code with grep to try to find where the default values are set and I was not able to find

Re: smaller grace notes

Hi Marc, If you use $(add-grace-property 'Voice 'Stem 'length '8), it will change only the non beamed stems, as you realized. To change both, use $(add-grace-property 'Voice 'Stem 'length-fraction '0.7). Note that the beamed stems are changed only to the nearest staff line position, not continuous

Re: smaller grace notes

*1) I noticed a strange side-effect: if i change *$(add-grace-property 'Voice 'Stem 'length '8) It only applies to single grace notes: 2) I found the right size for the flag but it is st

Re: smaller grace notes

Thanks David! Indeed this code looks way more elegant (and smaller) using add-grace-property. grace_notes_with_smaller_noteheads_(elegant_solution).ly Take care, Gilberto -- Vi

Re: smaller grace notes

Still some improvements: things look better with the following settings: \override NoteHead.font-size = -5 \override Flag.font-size = -5 \override Stem.length = 4 \override Beam.beam-thickness = 0.3 \override Beam.length-fraction = 0.5 \override Beam.shorten = 1 Now the beams look much better, an

Re: smaller grace notes

Hello Marc, I am glad you liked that little code. I tweaked it a bit more, and now I think it looks better. I simply added these lines to each one of the four types of graces: \override Flag.font-size = -5 \override Stem.length = 3.7 \override Beam.beam-thickness = 0.35 Also, for the appoggiatu

Re: smaller grace notes

The example looks really nice. It appears that only the NoteHead size is reduced. Would you know how to have the hight of the Stem and the Beam change proportionally as well? I tried the code below but it did not have any effect on the stem and the Beam. startGraceMusic = { \override NoteHead
