shorten beamed stems without overriding beam-positions?

2004-09-22 Thread Roland Goretzki
Hi at all. I'm using version 2.2.0 and want to shorten many beamed stems in a way, which allows to transpose the whole score afterwards several times, so I cannot use e.g. \override Beam #'positions = #'(2 . 0). In my short example at the bottom I can't find a way to shorten the stems enough. :-(
