Flat flags on lone notes and beam nibs at the ends of beamed figures are
both possible with a combination of stemLeftBeamCount
,
stemRightBeamCount
, and paired []
beam indicators.
For right-pointing flat flags on lone notes, use paired []
beam indicators and set stemLeftBeamCount
to zero (see Example 1).
For left-pointing flat flags, set stemRightBeamCount
instead
(Example 2).
For right-pointing nibs at the end of a run of beamed notes, set
stemRightBeamCount
to a positive value. And for left-pointing
nibs at the start of a run of beamed notes, set stemLeftBeamCount
instead (Example 3).
Sometimes it may make sense for a lone note surrounded by rests to carry
both a left- and right-pointing flat flag. Do this with paired []
beam indicators alone (Example 4).
(Note that \set stemLeftBeamCount
is always equivalent to
\once \set
. In other words, the beam count settings are not
sticky
, so the pair of flat flags attached to the lone
c'16[]
in the last example have nothing to do with the
\set
two notes prior.)
