Hi Abraham,

Beam.length-fraction - thanks for uncovering this information for us. I was never able to find this. It's really useful. So it seems like setting the fraction to 1 gives the 'normal' distance, setting to 0 gives no distance, and setting to 0.5 gives half the normal distance, and so on. I have to say that even upon finding this in the doc, the brief explanation is not at all illuminating. I think it needs better expressing - how does one go about submitting documentation improvement requests?

If you can't update the documentation yourself please write to bug-lilypond and include
- a description of the problem and ideally
- a suggestion how to better word the explanations

I'm not sure why the calculation for this is so convoluted. Perhaps studying the source code more would enlighten me. Anyways, the property you are looking for is 'length-fraction.
