I have run into an odd little aesthetic issue. I'm finding that some eighth (or shorter) notes get stems that are too short when they stick out from the staff.For instance, I find the stem here awfully short because it makes the flag on the eighth note run into the note heads:
But the measure before I get this:Which looks fine.
While I am can tweak note stem lengths on an individual basis, it seems a less than ideal to address the issue.Is there some setting that can be used to keep the stems from getting so short? For the most part it only bothers me on the eight notes and shorter duration where the flags make it more apparent.Best,Arle

Hi Arle,
please:
DON'T POST INLINE-IMAGES!
Attach them!
I'm surely not alone with filtering them out.
If I want to see what image you posted, I have to refer to the archives (or change my filter-settings and I will _not_ do that).
This doesn't boost my motivation to work on your problem.
That said, on topic:
You may want to use the code below to lengthen an unbeamed stem for 8th or shorter.
Sometimes LilyPond does a long stem, so I provided a reverting, too.
\version "2.16.1"
stemAdd =
#(define-music-function (parser location stem-add)(number?)
"
Adds the value of stem-add to the length of the unbeamed stems of 8th and
shorter.
"
#{
\override Stem #'after-line-breaking =
#(lambda (grob)
(let* ((dur (ly:grob-property grob 'duration-log))
(nc (ly:grob-parent grob Y))
(beam? (ly:grob? (ly:grob-object grob 'beam)))
(lngth (if (not beam?)(ly:grob-property grob 'length))))
(if (and (not beam?) (>= dur 3))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'length (+ stem-add lngth))
#f)))
#})
