Hi Jaime,

Hi all,

Is there a way to add stems to cluster events made with something like
 \makeClusters { <c e>8 <c e>8 <c e>8 <c e>8 <c e>8 }
so that there is a sense of the underlying rhythmic structure?

The Notation Manual says this isn't supported, which is a big oversight (along with stemmed glissandi).

A quick and dirty experiment:

\version "2.19.15"

\new Staff <<
  {
    \makeClusters { <c e>8 <c e>8 <c e>8 <c e>8 <c e>8 }
  }
  \new Voice {
    <c e>8 <c e>8 <c e>8 <c e>8 <c e>8
  }

You can see that the cluster-spanner stops short on the right.  I'll look into lengthening it to reach the stem.
