Editing Setting the minimum length of a fall/doit

Sometimes the spacing is too tight, so that a fall or doit looks almost vertical. The solution is to specify a minimum length for the fall/doit, but only setting the <code>minimum-length</code> property (which you can do on hairpins and slurs, for example) does not work, since you also need a suitable setting for the <code>springs-and-rods</code> property. This example shows how to do it.

  \once \override BendAfter.minimum-length = #5
}

\relative c' {
  f2.~ f8
  \noteFix
  f-\bendAfter #-4 |
  r2 r8 c d f |
}
