Re: stem lengths

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you look at the section on Stems in the reference manual, you
will find a link to
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Stem.html
which lists all properties that can be set on a stem.
Among them, there's a property called beamed-lengths that can be used.
The first value in the list corresponds to eighth notes, the next to
sixteens notes and so on, so increasing the first value from 3.26 should
help. Try something like:

    \time 6/8
    \property Voice.Stem \override #'beamed-lengths = #'(5.26 3.26 1.5)
    af8 \clef treble c' ef
    \property Voice.Stem \revert #'beamed-lengths
    af ef c
