In example B, it is still ambiguous and the stems could go either way. There is nothing I have seen which would demand that the stems go up or down in such a case, although I would prefer to see it with stems down.
It seems you are saying that Patterson Beams can't adjust the beam angle the way that Finale has the stems up. Have you tried switching the stem direction manually and then applying Patterson Beams? That might change things.
Good luck.

I've found a strange behavior:
if you have two beamed eight notes, laying respectively on the 2nd and 4th line (example A), Finale stems this figure down, which is preferable.
A:
--------------------
-------------O------
--------------------
------O-------------
--------------------
now, try to make a chord out of the second eight, adding a note on the 3rd line (example B).
Finale stems it up! -- which is incorrect, as the majority
of notes, should weight stems DOWN. ...or am I wrong?
B:
--------------------
-------------O------
-------------O------
------O-------------
--------------------
In itself, this would make not a big deal, but...
that kind of symmetrical groups is IMMUNIZED TO PATTERSON BEAMS!
i.e. the plugin can't touch their beam angle.
can anyone confirm this?
with best regards
