I have first beamed note in the bass, and 3 more in the treble staff. I wish to adjust the beam slope using "\override Beam #'positions", as the automatically-calculated beam slope is overinfluenced by the lone cross-staff note.
However, the adjustment values are anchored relative to the centerline of the (starting) bass staff. I wish to have the override values anchored to the treble staff. Is it possible?
Here's snippet showing the issue:
__________________________
\version "2.16.1"
staffUp = \change Staff = "upper"
staffDown = \change Staff = "lower"
soprano= \relative c'{
\time 2/4 s2
%\override Beam #'positions = #'(1 . 0.7) %can't adjust beam relative to upper staff centerline (desired)
\override Beam #'positions = #'(10.5 . 9.5) %values relative to lower staff centerline subject to between-staff distance
\staffDown g8[ \staffUp e'd c]
}
bass = \relative c{ \clef bass s2 <e
c>2}
\score{
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "upper" \soprano
\new Staff = "lower" \bass
>>
\layout{}
}
