3.1.105 Stem

Stem objects are created by: Stem_engraver.

Standard settings:

beamlet-default-length (pair):

'(1.1 . 1.1)

A pair of numbers. The first number specifies the default length of a beamlet that sticks out of the left hand side of this stem; the second number specifies the default length of the beamlet to the right. The actual length of a beamlet is determined by taking either the default length or the length specified by beamlet-max-length-proportion, whichever is smaller.

beamlet-max-length-proportion (pair):

'(0.75 . 0.75)

The maximum length of a beamlet, as a proportion of the distance between two adjacent stems.

default-direction (direction):

ly:stem::calc-default-direction

Direction determined by note head positions.

details (list):

'((lengths 3.5 3.5 3.5 4.25 5.0 6.0) (beamed-lengths 3.26 3.5 3.6) (beamed-minimum-free-lengths 1.83 1.5 1.25) (beamed-extreme-minimum-free-lengths 2.0 1.25) (stem-shorten 1.0 0.5))

Alist of parameters for detailed grob behavior. More information on the allowed parameters for a grob can be found by looking at the top of the Internals Reference page for each interface having a details property.

direction (direction):

ly:stem::calc-direction

If side-axis is 0 (or X), then this property determines whether the object is placed LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT with respect to the other object. Otherwise, it determines whether the object is placed UP, CENTER or DOWN. Numerical values may also be used: UP=1, DOWN=-1, LEFT=-1, RIGHT=1, CENTER=0.

duration-log (integer):

stem::calc-duration-log

The 2-log of the note head duration, i.e., 0 = whole note, 1 = half note, etc.

length (dimension, in staff space):

stem::length

User override for the stem length of unbeamed stems.

neutral-direction (direction):

-1

Which direction to take in the center of the staff.

stem-begin-position (number):

ly:stem::calc-stem-begin-position

User override for the begin position of a stem.

stencil (stencil):

ly:stem::print

The symbol to print.

thickness (number):

1.3

Line thickness, generally measured in line-thickness.

X-extent (pair of numbers):

ly:stem::width

Hard coded extent in X direction.

X-offset (number):

ly:stem::offset-callback

The horizontal amount that this object is moved relative to its X-parent.

Y-extent (pair of numbers):

ly:stem::height

Hard coded extent in Y direction.

Y-offset (number):

ly:staff-symbol-referencer::callback

The vertical amount that this object is moved relative to its Y-parent.

This object supports the following interface(s): grob-interface, item-interface and stem-interface.
