Hello!
Just wondering about Beam damping. The default setting allows beams
that are *far* too steep for my tastes:
[I don't have a copy of Ross or any comparable text -- would they would
approve of a slope of 3.5 over 10?]
Unfortunately, I don't seem to have very fine control over the angle --
I can only get undamped or horizontal! =\
The code I am trying is:
\override Staff.Beam #'damping = #2
The docs have this to say:
damping (integer):
1
Amount of beam slope damping. 0: no, 1: yes, 100000: horizontal beams.
Does that mean that 2 will give a different result (i.e., more damping)
than 200?
What's the algorithm?
Best regards,
Kieren.
