I've checked with Gould, and she only gives examples up to 4 beams.  The 
problem is that her rule is that, in descending notes, the top beam hangs from 
the staff line and the next one straddles it (it's centred).  Three beams go 
hang, straddle, sit.  It's then impossible to follow this rule for 4 beams 
unless the spacing of the beam is widened.  With 5 beams it's then completely 
impossible to follow this rule unless the beams are made unevenly spaced.  See 
the attached diagram - note that with 5 beams, the 4th beam down is also really 
in the wrong place.

is this a bug or done on purpose? The following snippet produces beams
of which the lowest beam does not touch the staff line below.

The small-gaps-fill-with-ink theory should avoid this. IMHO the output
would look better like this:

~~~~
{
  \override Beam.positions = #'(2.7 . 2.7)
  g128[ g]
}
~~~~

What do the experts think?

This has been discussed at some length on the user list.
