1) In beaming 16th notes over rests [e.g., (sixteenths) - note - rest - rest - 
note], with 'beaming over rests' turned ON in the doc.opts. produces what I 
like. However, with the same set-up, [sixteenth note, sixteenth rest, eighth 
note] produces a 'short' secondary beam which goes over the rest. This I do not 
like.

2) With 'beaming over rests' turned OFF, the [note - rest - rest - note] gives 
ugly short secondary beams pointing inwards, but the [1/16th note - 1/16th rest 
- eighth note] is perfect.

Is there some way in which I may obtain the best of both - the full secondary 
beam over rests in the first instance, and a really short secondary beam not 
over the rest in the second?
