And that's what one uses Patterson Beams plugin to correct. With

the plugin makes), you occasionally have to tweak some beams by
hand after running the plugin.

Just to balance things out, let me observe that not every
publisher feels the necessity to avoid wedges. I am one of these.
I find that I have to tweak some beams for other reasons whether I
use Patterson Beams or not, and since using the Patterson plugin
is an extra step in the editing process, I simply don't use it.
Sure Andrew,
I can understand that. The original reason for avoiding the wedges
had to do with ink running into them on presses making ugly smudges
etc. Now we don't have that issue, so they are less bothersome. I
have simply gotten used to the way things look with Patterson Beams,
and I find - for my eyes, that the music is marginally easier to read
using them.
