Seriously, though....I've dealt with music where one section was
new-complexity-style notation, with lots of beams, in which long stems
for crotchets is essential for them to be seen, contrasted with
aleatoric sections where normal stem lengths would have been suitable.
Yes, I've come across things like this too, like wanting beams across
rests with half-stemlets only for a certain section of a piece, only to
be stymied.
At least longer stems CAN be done for a section, albeit manually.
Thicker is, of course, a kludge.
It might be nice to have more options available as staff styles.
