Just migrated to v27.

The default slash marks for slash and rhythmic notation are too big and horsey, so I substituted the smaller slash that doesn't extend from the second to the fourth staff line. Problem is, in rhythmic notation, my stems no longer reach the note head/slash (they look like pants that are too short). The stem length tool only adjusts the other end of the stem—not the end that attaches to the note head.

I swear I fixed this globally in v26, but I'll be darned if I can remember how. Can someone please give me a suggestion?

Thanks.
