Re: Stem lengths in 2.8.1
Thanks Mats. Below is what I ended up with. It's a simple ly file that
generates headless stems for rhythmic studies. Students take a known
song and fill in the noteheads to help learn rhythm, especially
syncopation. I've made a few more like this dealing with sixteenth notes
and triplets. This one is for eighth notes and works for swing rhythms
as well. I like the beam a bit higher as it helps to differentiate the
beam from the staff.
\version 2.8.1
#(set-global-staff-size 24)
up = \drummode {
\time 2/2
\override Beam #'thickness = #0.55
\override SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #1.20
\override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
\override Stem #'details #'beamed-lengths = #'(5 6 7)
\repeat unfold 352 sn8
}
down = \drummode {
\repeat unfold 176 bd4
}
\new DrumStaff
\new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \up }
\new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }

Stem lengths in 2.8.1
I've just returned to lilypond after a long time
(version 2.0.1!) and have noticed in version 2.8.1
that the stem lengths seem to be a bit shorter, at
least in the following example (from Telemann) :
\version 2.8.1
upper = \relative c'' {
\clef treble
\key bes \major
\time 4/4
bes16 a bes c bes c a bes c bes c d c d bes c |
d c d ees d ees c d ees d ees f ees f d ees |
}
lower = \relative c {
\clef bass
\key bes \major
\time 4/4
bes8 d g f ees c f f, |
bes bes' bes, bes' ees, es' ees, ees' |
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff
\set PianoStaff.instrument = Cembalo
\new Staff = upper \upper
\new Staff = lower \lower
\layout { }
}
In the output of 2.8.1, the stems of the semiquavers
in the upper clef appear to be shorter than those in
the output from 2.0.1 by about the height of a ledger
line. Unfortunately, I don't have the original
(2.0.1) code, but there was nothing unusual about it.
Was this a conscious decision on the part of the
developers or a by-product of some other changes?
Thanks,
Aloke

Re: Stem lengths in 2.8.1
I noticed that the stem lengths are calculated differently.
lengths, a list:
\override Stem #'lengths = #'(3.5 3.5 7.0 4.5 5.0)
seems to be replaced with length, a dimension or stem-end-position, a
number:
\override Stem #'length = #13.5
The number 7.0 in the first example results in the same stem length as the
13.5 number in the new way of doing things.
In the old way, you could specify 'a length for each flag-count' with the
list. Whereas, length is a 'User override for the stem length of unbeamed
stems.', apparently stems of any flag-count. So the stem length is
calculated differently.
I think the difference in stem-length between stems with different
flag-counts has been revised.
Browsing the documentation, lengths still exists, but has been taken out the
the 'User settable properties' list. It is in the 'details' list, whatever
that means.
