Let me see if I can help. I think the first step is to use something besides embedded-ps. make-connected-path-stencil will be easier to work with. The following will let you set the width like you want. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.18.2" qRecta = #(lambda (x) (make-connected-path-stencil `((0 0.55) (,x 0.55) (,x -0.55) (0 -0.55) (0 0)) 0 ;; line thickness 1 ;; X-axis scaling factor 1 ;; Y-axis scaling factor #t ;; auto-connect path to origin point? (0 0) #t)) % filled path? X = #(define-music-function (parser location w) (number?) #{ \override NoteHead #'X-offset = #0 \override NoteHead #'stencil = #(qRecta w) #}) \new Staff { \absolute \X #0.3 <e' f' g' a' b' c'>8 \X #0.5 <e' f' g' a' b' c'>8 } %%%%%%%%%%%%%% % another option, make-path-stencil % available in latest 2.19 but not 2.18.2 qRecta-B = #(lambda (x) (make-path-stencil `(moveto 0 0.55 lineto ,x 0.55 lineto ,x -0.55 lineto 0 -0.55 closepath) 0 ;; line thickness 1 ;; X-axis scaling factor 1 ;; Y-axis scaling factor #t)) % filled path? %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% However, the output is not exactly what we get from what's below, which I assume is what you want. So there's still more to be done...
