Flat flags

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Hi all,

According to the manual, the command necessary to create flat flags (\set stemLeftBeamCount) is "always equivalent to \once \set. In other words, beam count settings are not “sticky” [...]". Does this mean that the only way I can produce a score such as the one below is to use a \set stemLeftBeamCount for each single pitch?

Also, does anyone knows how to generate grace notes with a flat flag as well? (After so many questions of mine on this mailing list, some of you might be thinking I have some psychotic fixation on grace notes)

\version "2.17.26"

{

  \relative c' {    

    \set stemLeftBeamCount = #0 f16[] r8.

    \set stemLeftBeamCount = #0 e16[]

    \set stemLeftBeamCount = #0 gis16[] r8

    \set stemLeftBeamCount = #0 fis[]

    \set stemLeftBeamCount = #0 a32[] r64

    \set stemLeftBeamCount = #0 f64[] r16

    \grace{c8} 

    \set stemLeftBeamCount = #0 ees8[] r8

  }

}

If this is too much headache, I will just keep using \override Flag #'stencil = #modern-straight-flag which is close enough to what I want.

Thanks a lot for all the help. Regards,

Gilberto
