RE: Beam damping

You can override the 'positions property of Beam to place a
beam at any position and angle.  This property allows you to
specify the precise heights of the two ends of the beam.  If
they are the same the beam is horizontal.  Here's an
example:

\version "2.11.34"
\relative c'' {
  c8 g e c
  \once \override Beam #'positions = #'(3.0 . 3.0)
  c'8 g e c
}

The units are staff spaces above the centre line.  The first
number is the height of the left end of the beam, the second
the right end.  Of course, you have to take responsibility
for any collisions that may occur.
