#### 8.4.6 Feathered beams

Feathered beams are printed by setting the `grow-direction` property of a `Beam`. The `\featherDurations` function can be used to adjust note durations.

>          \featherDurations #(ly:make-moment 5 4)
>          {
>            \override Beam #'grow-direction = #LEFT
>            c16[ c c c c c c]
>          }

##### Bugs

The `\featherDuration` command only works with very short music snippets.
