Hi Dennis, Do the musicians in your circles genuinely feel that "Phrase-beaming is more legible than a clutter of accents"? Because I've honestly never met a single musician who believes this. Every instrumentalist I've ever talked to about this issue absolutely *hates* phrase-beaming (and this is including specialists in the thorniest New Complexity stuff).
