Re: stem length in a three voice setting

[bart deruyter]

Hey, 

@Aaron: thank you that's what I'm looking for, thanks!

The version that is posted is not the one that is used, for some reason, frescobaldi always enters an older lilypond version than the one that is installed and used, I have no clue why. The one that is running is actually 2.20.0. But that's a different issue all together.

Again, thanks! Now finding a way to memorise it for later usage too! :-)

%%%%
\version "2.20.0"

classicalGuitarA = \relative c' {
   \tuplet 3/2 {fis16 g fis} eis8 fis
}
classicalGuitarB = \relative c' {
   \override Beam.positions = #'(-1.25 . -1.25)
   \once \shiftOff
   d8 cis d
}
classicalGuitarC = \relative c {
   d4.
}

{
   \key d \major
   \time 3/8
   \clef "treble_8"
   \voices 1,4,2 <<
     \classicalGuitarA \\
     \classicalGuitarB \\
     \classicalGuitarC
   >>
}
%%%%

That's the closest I can get it to match.

NOTE: I am using a newer version of LilyPond that supports the \voices
command.
