Re: Banjo tablature stem length for beamed stems?

[Kevin Barry]

Hi Holland,

When stems are beamed their lengths are controlled by the Beam's 'positions property, so something like

\once \override Beam.positions = #'(-5 . -5)

before the first beamed note will change the length of the stems (choose the values you want).

hth,

Kevin

I’m working on some banjo tablature and I’d like to change the stem length for beamed stems when 2 non-adjacent strings are played together. I can use \override-s to lengthen and shift the stems of unbeamed notes. How can I change the length of beamed stems? It seems like beamed-lengths might hold the answer, but I haven’t figured out how to apply it or what the numbers mean. See the minimal example below.
Thanks,
Holland
