Thank you Carl.

I further cut down the snippet size to 82 lines as suggestion from Carl.

Definitely it is because \EzNum. This Eznum is to help display note number inside the notehead. The larger staff is to accommodate it. How can I modify the \EzNum in order the stem length not to be affected by the larger staff lines/spaces? Appreciate the help.

Blessing in+,

Ming.

Do you need to have colored note heads? Do you need your actual notes?
Could you substitute a pair of eighth notes and demonstrate the problem?
Do you need to have a GrandStaff, or could you observe the same problem on
a single Staff?

This is the kind of question one should ask oneself when trying to make a
Tiny Example.

Probably because \EzNum sets the staff space larger. What you are seeing
is the result of a larger staff space. You want to have the big staff
space to make room for the heads, but not to make the stems longer. EzNum
doesn't do this.

No. \EzNum was something that you were given to help you solve a problem
you were having. It's not part of the release and not supported by
development.

Thanks,

Carl
