beam height etc.

Yes, I just found out a short while ago that I needed to put the
\stemDown *inside* the \grace group.

Now I'm trying to get some other problems fixed.  I need to adjust some
stem length on beamed notes but I have not found any examples to study.

In the fragment at the bottom I would like to do some additional things.

1) Force a bracket over the 5-plet.
2) Lengthen the stem/lower the beam on the dis at the end of the 5-plet.
3) Tie that same dis to the fermata quarter note that follows.
4) Put a stem, but no notehead lined up with the rest in the 5-plet.
The definitions for inv and unv work but when I tried to alter them to
get stems but no noteheads Lily choked:

 error: parse error, unexpected SCORE:
\scor
     e {


Also, how can I make the dots of dotted notes transparent as well?

Thanks,

David Bobroff
