Sorry errors, but the stem does not get shorter.

Kind regards,

Sorry, gremlins seem to have crept in! There's a rogue space between the minus sign and the number. Furthermore, I misunderstood why you were using #'length-fraction. Is this better:

\relative c''
% Treble
<<      { \time 3/4 \repeat volta 2 {
       < g,= b > 4< a c > < c e > | < b d > 4.< g b > 8< a c > < b d >  |   % 3
       < c e > 4< d fis > < e g > | cis! d r | \break   % 5
       < b d >4. b'8  a g  | <g-4>4 fis8 < c d > < c d > < c d >  }
}
% Alt
\\      { \voiceThree
       s2. s   % 3
       s s   % 5
       s4.
       \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #0 %Force quavers back into alignment with treble voice
       \once \override Beam #'positions = #'(-1.5 . -2)
       \override Stem #'length-fraction = #0.2
       b=8  b b \revert NoteColumn #'force-hshift s4 c4. s }
