Re: Between-staff beam wrong direction

[Mark Witmer]

Thanks Shane,

That helped. Beam.concaveness doesn't affect the
 vertical spacing between staves, so the beam is in the right direction 
but the stems are too short. I combined it with a different tweak to 
widen the space between staves and it worked pretty well.

Try \override Beam #'concaveness = #x where is some negative value.
It is in the LSR (lilypond snippet repository)
