Dear lilyponders:
For musicological purposes, I need to make every down-sided stem to be to the right of the note. So far, I've managed it by offseting it case per case like this: pdn = { \override Stem.X-offset = 1.12 \override Stem.Y-offset = 0.4 \override Stem.length = 7.5 } \once\pdn c4 This is, however, impractical, so I'm asking you, guys, if there is a way to automatize it. I guess a function could be written to detect the direction of the stem and the type of pneuma (as white notes are a little bit wider than blacks), but I don't know how to do it, nor do I have the time to do all the research (sadly). I also need to make every note equally spaced across the staff, regardless of its value; I've achieved a somewhat evenly distribution by doing this: \override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = #0.5 \override Score.SpacingSpanner.strict-note-spacing = ##t But it is not perfect. Is there a way to make lilypond ignore completely the value of the note, and make them appear all equally distanced? Thank you all very much for your help, Víctor.
