beam-interface

A beam.

#'thickness= weight of beams, in staffspace

auto-knee-gap (number or boolean):

the minimal smallest gap between two adjacent beamed chords for which beam will create auto-knees. Set to false for no auto knees. Default value: (unset)

staff-position (number):

vertical position in staff spaces, counted from the middle line. Default value: (unset)

height (number):

in staffspace. Default value: (unset)

flag-width-function (procedure):

Procedure that computes the width of a half-beam (a non-connecting beam.). Default value: (unset)

damping (integer):

amount of beam slope damping should beam slope be damped? 0: no, 1: yes, 100000: horizontal beams . Default value: (unset)

neutral-direction (direction):

Where to go if we're in the middle of the staff. Default value: (unset)

thickness (number):

thickness, measured in stafflinethickness. Default value: (unset)

space-function (procedure):

function of type multiplicity -> real (in staffspace). Default value: (unset)

beamed-stem-shorten (number):

shorten beamed stems in forced direction. Default value: (unset)

height-quants (procedure):

function of type (beam staff-line-thickness) -> list of quants. Default value: default-beam-dy-quants. . Default value: (unset)

vertical-position-quant-function (procedure):

function of type (beam multiplicity dy staff-line-thickness) -> real. Default value: default-beam-y-quants, also available: beam-traditional-y-quants. . Default value: (unset)

damping (integer):

amount of beam slope damping should beam slope be damped? 0: no, 1: yes, 100000: horizontal beams . Default value: (unset)

outer-stem-length-limit (number):

catch suspect beam slopes, set slope to zero if outer stem is lengthened more than this (in staffspace). Default value: (unset)

slope-limit (number):

set slope to zero if slope is running away steeper than this. Default value: (unset)

auto-knee-gap (number or boolean):

the minimal smallest gap between two adjacent beamed chords for which beam will create auto-knees. Set to false for no auto knees. Default value: (unset)
