Re: stem length and position in cluster

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear lilypond-users,
I'va tried something else with the cluster stems. I now understand better, how I can change the stems for clusters, but it is a lot of work. Therefore I would like to know:
In the below quoted example I use two different cluster chords. The first one looks good, but the second doesn't. Is it possible to make the changes off stems etc. in the first chord more flexible, so that it matches also for the second one?
Here the example:
%% begin %%%%%%
akkord = \relative c''' { << {  \voiceTwo  \once \override Stem #'length = 10 <c b! a d,>16 }   \\ 
    {   \voiceFour  \once \override Stem #'length = 15 
        \once\override Stem #'rotation = #'(-50 0 2 )  
 \once  \override Stem #'flag-style = #'no-flag 
 \once\override Stem #'extra-offset = #'(-2.9  . 1.5) 
\once\override Accidental #'extra-offset = #'(5.5  . 0) 
\once\override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #3.85 bes} >> r16 r8 }  
\new Staff
\relative { \akkord r4 r2 \transpose c f { \akkord } r4 r2   }
%%%% END %%%%%%%%

Dear lilypond-users,
in the below quoted emxample, in my ponion, the stem from the b flat to the d should end at a little higher position. But I don't know, how to change it.
Here the example:

 schiefrunter = {  \once\override Stem #'extra-offset = #'(-1.1 . 0.75) \once\override Stem #'rotation = #'(-45 0 0) \once \override Stem #'length = #9 }
 \relative c'' { \context Voice << { <d a' b c>16} {s64 \schiefrunter bes'4*3/16}>> r16 r8 r4 r2}
