Hi Pierre,

Thank you so much for your answer. Oddly enough, it did not appear as a reply in our forum at Nabble, did you mean to send it privately to me?

 

Actually no. I did reply "to all". Strange that you've got it as a private message.

As for your function, it is much more elegant than my previous hack. It is just a pity I couldn't so far automate this beam until barline,...

I know ; it's just an idea, it needs to be uppgraded. I'll think about it.

 

... but using your function together with manual adjustments actually works wonderfully well. I really appreciate it, thanks a lot.

All the best,
Gilberto

Cheers,

Pierre

If anyone still has any other ideas/suggestions, they are highly
appreciated.

Just a rough idea :

\version "2.19.15"

beamLength =
#(define-music-function (parser location myLength myPosition) (number? number?)
  #{
    \once\override Beam.stencil =
      #(lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob
        #{
          \markup
          %% "column" just in case for multiple beams:
          %\column
          {
            \translate #(cons 0 myPosition)
            \beam #myLength #0 #0.4
            %\vspace #-.73
            %\beam #myLength #0 #0.4
           }
          #}))
  #})

\relative c' {
  \beamLength #19.1 #0
  c8[c c c c c c c]
  \stemDown
  \beamLength #20 #-5.5
  c[c c c c c c c]
  \once\override Staff.BarLine.bar-extent = #'(-7 . 2)
}
