Re: How to make beams non-slanted

[Sven Axelsson]

Yes, that's also good to know. However the beams aren't damped all the way, i.e. they are still a little slanted, even if I use a really big number for the damping parameter.

And since I also wanted the beams at the same position, I went for this:

    \override Beam #'positions = #'(-5 . -5)
    \override Stem #'lengths = #'(5 5 5 5 5)

I think you want damping:

{
c'8[ g'] b'[ d']
\override Beam #'damping = #100000
c'8[ g'] b'[ d']
\override Beam #'damping = #0
c'8[ g'] b'[ d']
\override Beam #'damping = #1
c'8[ g'] b'[ d']
}

If that's what you wanted, could you add this example to the LSR?
