Re: Stem extension question
Hi Jean, thank you for the reply! The purpose is to simplify the inserting of hartificial harmonic + resulting sound, without using the creation of a second voice. I found that it is possible to tweak the stem-begin-position property, but this work only for unbeamed note. Do you have any suggestion? Also in different way to achive the result.

Re: /etc shortcut
Thanks for pointing me to the substitution function topic, Jean. This
looks still simple enough but more versatile, robust (and even growable
;-) ) than the \etc approach.

Well, \etc is not as general as this. For one thing, it works

\mark is a music function. It won't like receiving a partial markup

Stem extension question
Good morning to everyone, I would like to ask you if you know a way to manually define the extension of a Stem in the case of a chord. For example, I write a chord of three sounds, but I would like the Stem to extend only to some of them, for example the two lowest notes, making the top note "floating". Obviously the result can also be obtained by using multiple voices, but if there were the possibility of using a tweak, the result would certainly be easier to obtain. Thanks
