Re: feathered midbeam direction change

[Neil Thornock]

Thanks Trevor;
For the record:

\version "2.12.1"

\new Staff {<< { \oneVoice c'8*1/2[ d' e' f' g' a' b' c'' d''] } \new Voice
    { \oneVoice \override Beam #'positions = #'(1 . 1.2) c'8*1/2[ d'
e' f' g'] } \new Voice
    { s4 \override Beam #'positions = #'(1.2 . 3.5) \stemUp g'8*1/2[
a' b' c'' d''] }
 >>
    r8. r4
 }

Which does indeed work, and is somewhat similar to what I have been
doing (although you prompted a cleaner solution).  Those beam
positions though... ugh.

But I'm glad it's at least possible.  Are there any elegant solutions out there?

Is there a way to get the position of the beam after it's been set?

Thanks!
