Re: shortening a stem

2013-04-08 Thread Werner LEMBERG
Have you tried using \once \override Stem.length-fraction = #(magstep -n) Yes. Unfortunately the amount of shortening is not consistent across all notes for a particular value of n. Exactly. This makes it quite inconvenient for applying a simple optical correction. Werner

Unequal spacing in odd-n tuplet with other simultaneous subdivisions

Known issue? I'm seeing a strange problem with unequal spacing in the third staff's septuplet. The spacing is mostly better if I remove the first staff, and the problem doesn't reproduce at all if I remove the first bar in all three staves. I apologize that the example is a bit longer than tiny,
