Thanks for looking at it, Don.
The problem with Don's solution, i think, is that the beam must end high enough. The beams can only be corrected when the layout is fixed.
Maybe PMX needs a "beam termination toggle" option on the "]" that closes the beam?
A long beamed sequence with - slope must start very high, because it must end above an octave of the highest note in the last chord.
This is demonstrated in an example with larger bars ( if ie.1 1 20 .0 is replaced by 1 2 20 .0)
Do you mean by 'toggle' adding an option to ']' (someting as ']j' ) for doing a \roff ?
