Re: \afterGrace control over stem length

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi James,

I was not able to reproduce the stem length shown on your picture. Please be so kind to send compilable example including the version you're using.

Doc's here: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/fixing-overlapping-notation#the-positions-property

And here's two possibilities:

\version "2.18.2"

\relative {
  \clef "tenor"
  \omit Staff.TimeSignature
  aes4. g8 ~ g4 r8 \p \afterGrace c8 ( \mp\< { d16 [ e ] }
  f8 \> e ) d16 ( c8. ) \! f,4. r8
  r2 r4 \clef bass \afterGrace d4 \mp _(
    {
      \override Beam.positions = #'(2 . 1.5)
      des16 [ c ]
    }
  b4. ) \< g8 ~ g16 f8. c4-> ~ \f
}

And :

\version "2.19"

\relative {
  \clef "tenor"
  \omit Staff.TimeSignature
  aes4. g8 ~ g4 r8 \p \afterGrace c8 ( \mp\< { d16 [ e ] }
  f8 \> e ) d16 ( c8. ) \! f,4. r8
  r2 r4 \clef bass \afterGrace d4 \mp _(
    {
      \offset positions #'(-1 . -1) Beam
      des16 [ c ]
    }
  b4. ) \< g8 ~ g16 f8. c4-> ~ \f
}

Cheers,

Pierre

Hi, I have a couple of \afterGrace's in close proximity. One has normal-looking stems on the grace notes (attached, first bar). The other's stems are too long (third bar).

I'm not tweaking, overriding or setting anything at that point in the input code:

  g4 ~ \> g8 ) af4. ~ (
  af g8 ~ g4 ) r8 \p \afterGrace c8 ( \mp\< { d16 [ e ] }
  f8 \> e ) d16 ( c8. ) \! f,4. r8
  r2 r4 \clef bass \afterGrace d4 \mp _( { df16 [ c ] }
  b4. ) \< g8 ~ g16 f8. c4-> ~ \f\>

(And, just for fun, I tried moving "\clef bass" before the r4 -- no effect, as I would have expected.)

I'm satisfied to override the stem length, but I'm not finding the answer in the manual. Stem overrides seem to be for unbeamed stems. Beam overrides are... opaque to say the least.

How do I shorten these stems by 1 or 2 staff spaces? (I know the override needs to come inside the { df16 ... } _expression_.)

Thanks.
