Uniformly flat beam layer

[Trevor Bača]

Hi,

Here's a snippet to get a uniformly flat beam layer throughout a piece
or throughout a region of a piece.

%%% BEGIN SNIPPET %%%

\version "2.9.11"

\new Staff {
  \override Stem #'direction = #down
  \override Beam #'positions = #'(-6 . -6)
  c'16[ d'16 e'16 f'16]
  c''16[ d''16 e''16 f''16]
}

%%% END SNIPPET %%%

The effect comes from setting Beam #'positions equal to some pair (m .
n) with m == n.

Classical engraving forbids this, of course, though there's something
a tendency here in highly parametric scores.

Thought I'd pass along into the archives ...
