Yes, but is there a way to tweak this behavior to suit different situations?
For stems:
\override Stem #'(details stem-shorten) = #'(1.0 0.5)
The numbers in the list signify unflagged & flagged stems
respectively; negative values will lengthen the stems.
For beams:
\override beam #'beamed-stem-shorten = #'(1.0 0.5 0.25)
Here the numbers determine the amount to shorten for single, double
and triple beams.
For both examples, I've given the default values as set in define-grobs.scm.
