Re: Horizontal beam parallel to staff

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Ahanu,

How about:

\version "2.20.0"
{
  %\override Beam.damping = #5
  \override Beam.positions = #'(5 . 5)
  g''8 b b c'' c'' b b g''
}

Cheers,

Pierre

I know it is not standard practice, but I am looking for a way to make beams parallel to staff despite the noteheads on either side of the beam having different vertical positions on the staff.

Setting beam damping to a high value reduces the slope substantially, but it doesn't go to zero. Can someone suggest a way to do this?

\version "2.20.0"
{ \override Beam.damping = #5
  g''8 b b c'' c'' b b g'' }

Thanks,
