Re: Alternating stem directions on a beam + note spacing

[Mats Bengtsson]

Thanks Bruce for following up on old forgotten questions.
For this question, I think a much cleaner solution is to add the
following lines at the end of the file:

\layout{
 \context{
   \Score
   \override SpacingSpanner #'average-spacing-wishes = ##f
 }
}
