{ d'16 [ r16 d'8 ] d'16 [ b'16\rest d'8 ] \override Beam.positions = #'(3.5 . 3.5) d'16 [ r16 d'8 ] d''16 [ r16 d''8 ]}
In the above example there are 4 beamed groups. 1) default - the rest is pushed down 2) explicitly set rest y position using \rest - the beam stays in the same position and collides with the rest 3) explicitly set beam position - this looks close to what I want, but I really do not want to do this manually and I would like some minimal dampening. I have no idea how to generally / programatically get the beam out of the staff, get the rest where it would lie naturally of not within a beamed group (as in both this and the previous example), and have some dampening. 4) This group show that even if I were to try to set the position programatically, I would have to do it based on the stem direction. In this particular case I would need to set the position negative. So to recap, there are a few things I am trying to do: generally get the beam out of the staff, always center the rests vertically where they go when not under a beam, and have some dampening. Thanks!
