This may be too broad of a brush, since it also affects non-beamed stems.
\override Stem.length-fraction = #(magstep 1.2)
But this is what I use, and I don't mind the extra-long non-breamed stems.
\version "2.24.0"
\language "english"
global = {
\time 12/8
\key f \major
}
rightHand = \relative {
\global
d''4.~\startTrillSpan d16\stopTrillSpan c bf a g f bf8 g' e! c bf g' |
\noBreak
a,16 g f e f a d, f d bf g e' f bf, a g a c f,4 r8 |
}
leftHand = \relative {
\global
\clef bass
f16 d bf a bf d f, bf d f e! d e c bf a bf c g bf e g f e |
f8 a, d bf8.\trill a32 bf c8 f,4 r8 r16 c' a c f,8 |
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff {
\override Stem.length-fraction = #(magstep 1.2)
\rightHand
}
\new Staff {
\override Stem.length-fraction = #(magstep 1.2)
\leftHand
}
>>
\layout {
indent = 0
\context {
\Score
% defaults = #'(3.26 3.5 3.6)
\override Stem.details.beamed-lengths = #'(3.5 4.1)
% defaults = #'(1.83 1.5 1.25)
%\override Stem.details.beamed-minimum-free-lengths = #'(1.83 3.33)
% defaults = #'(1.0 0.5 0.25)
%\override Stem.details.stem-shorten = #'(1.0 0.5 0.25)
}
}

Re: Output lilypond file with variables/functions applied?
displayLilyMusic seems to be exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much!

The displayLilyMusic function covers at least the case of transposition, and possibly other things as well.

Re: Output lilypond file with variables/functions applied?
Thank you for the response! New to Lilypond and was not aware of tags, I'll have to play around with them.

Hello,

No, there isn’t. Depending on your setup, the best tool for this purpose
may be within the editor (Frescobaldi or other?), possibly using the
python-ly library if you want to work on the command line (though I
haven’t used that directly myself), or you’ll want to use a different
approach:
My use case is that I want to manually change the accidentals of some
specific pitches that were re-pitched using transpose for better
readability.
That sounds like you might want to use tags for those specific notes. I
call those tags cisharm and transharm: one alternative is this side of
an enharmonic transformation, the other is on the other side of the
transformation.
%%
\version "2.24.3"
\tagGroup cisharm,transharm
music = {
\tag cisharm { cis'1 }
\tag transharm { des'1 }
}
\keepWithTag cisharm \music
\transpose c cis \keepWithTag cisharm \music
\transpose c cis \keepWithTag transharm \music
%%
Hope that helps!
Output lilypond file with variables/functions applied?
Hello,
Is there a way to get Lilypond to output a file with variables and
functions applied? For example, if I have a file like:
-
\version "2.24.3"
stuff = { c4 c4 c4 c4 | }
\stuff
\stuff
\transpose c4 d4 { \stuff }
\stuff
-
then is there a way to get Lilypond to output something like the following?
-
\version "2.24.3"
stuff = { c4 c4 c4 c4 | }
c4 c4 c4 c4 |
c4 c4 c4 c4 |
d4 d4 d4 d4 |
c4 c4 c4 c4 |
-
My use case is that I want to manually change the accidentals of some
specific pitches that were re-pitched using transpose for better
readability.
Thank you!

If you want to throw a score at me using it I'll be happy to run LilyPond 2.25.17 (Guile 3.0) and let you know the results. I think he was just asking you to try any real score that you have. Not somehow inserting the test code into it. Yes, exactly. It would be great if you could run the patched release on some real scores you have available.

I would really love to see it tested by Windows users before we incorporate the changes into our next development release.

alternate time signatures
I thought I had this solved before but I can't find it. I need to set the time signatures 9/8 and 3/4 side-by-side surrounded by parentheses at the beginning of a score. -David
