Hi Holland, When stems are beamed their lengths are controlled by the Beam's 'positions property, so something like \once \override Beam.positions = #'(-5 . -5) before the first beamed note will change the length of the stems (choose the values you want). hth, Kevin On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 4:2

Well you *can* do that (and I've seen it done that way), but often - the music being improvised anyway - you don't really have a tempo indication, except for Swing, Med. Swing, Uptempo Swing, Ballad etc., and those are just suggestions or show how the piece was played in a referenced recording.

If you're producing a jazz lead sheet (as the "swing" indicates), you're wrong. \tempo "Swing" 4=125 Merely indicates that the *style* is Swing while the tempo is 125. You could also write \tempo "Swing" 4=200 Which would indicate that this is a swing piece of tempo 200. Jazz tempo indicatio
