Re: Banjo tablature stem length for beamed stems?

[Noeck]

Hi Holland,

this is perhaps a bit closer to what you want:


\version "2.18.0"

longStem = {
    \once \override Stem.Y-offset = 6
    \once \override Stem.Y-extent = #'(-7.0 . 0.0)
    \once \override Stem.length = 12
    \once \override Stem.layer = -2
}

\new TabStaff {
  \set TabStaff.instrumentName = "Banjo"
  \set TabStaff.tablatureFormat = #fret-number-tablature-format-banjo
  \set TabStaff.stringTunings = #banjo-open-g-tuning %gDGBD
  \tabFullNotation
  \numericTimeSignature
  \clef moderntab
  \relative c'   {
    \time 4/4

    \once \override Beam.positions = #'(-5 . -5)
    g8
    \longStem
    < g'\5 d >8 r2. |g,8


    %moves the flag to the end of the moved stem
    \longStem
    < g'\5 d >8


  } % end of banjo notes
} % end of banjo voice


But it is still not automatic.

Best,
Joram
