After this interesting discussing of beams, accents, and time signatures, how timely to see this paper from this week's International Computer Music Conference:
"Modeling Beats, Accents, Beams, and Time Signatures Hierarchically with music21 Meter Objects" by Christopher Ariza and Michael Scott Cuthbert, MIT http://mit.edu/music21/papers/2010MeterObjects.pdf The music21 toolkit is a new tool for computer-aided musicology being developed at MIT. It can read and write MusicXML files, so it can communicate with Finale and many other programs. In the demos I've seen, they use Finale Reader as the default program for displaying program results. I'm pretty sure that the MusicXML results shown in the paper were displayed using Finale.
