Two things. The property name is beam-thickness, not just thickness.
Also, Stem.length isn't going to work because it affects just one stem: the
next one. So no way to adjust the stem lengths that I know of, but that
doesn't mean someone else might know how to do it.
%%% Start
\version "2.24.4"
startGraceMusic = {
<>(
\override NoteHead.font-size = #-7
\override Beam.beam-thickness = #0.4
}
stopGraceMusic = {
\revert NoteHead.font-size
\revert Beam.beam-thickness
<>)
}
\relative c''' {
\time 2/4
\grace { a32 e f } e8 c \grace { g'32 c, d } c8 \grace { a'32 } b,16
\grace { d32 } a16 |
\grace { g'32 c, d } c8 \grace { a'32 } b,8 \grace { g32 d' g, e' } b8[
\grace { g'32 f } g8] |
}
%%% End
