Hello,

First, thanks for Lilypond. It's patently amazing and I am super-grateful
for it.

This code:
 - https://gist.github.com/harold/0b945bdfea789d05a92c6b2fe29b35ee

Produces this output when compiling:

    $ lilypond test.ly
    GNU LilyPond 2.18.2
    Processing `test.ly'
    Parsing...

    test.ly:27:15: warning: no viable initial configuration found: may not
find good beam slope
          \lh b16
                  c'
    Layout output to `test.ps'...
    Converting to `./test.pdf'...
    Success: compilation successfully completed

And this generally good looking graphical output:

My question is about the "warning":

 - "no viable initial configuration found: may not find good beam slope"

Is the warning having an ill effect? What causes it? Is it possible to get
better beam slopes? To my eyes, the fourth beat beams maybe should be going
up instead of down (but what do I know?).

Is my code a good way to express this musical idea in Lilypond? I am 100% a
Lilypond neophyte, is there a better way?

Also, this is my first post to this list, sorry if I have violated any
mores of this community.

Warmly,
-Harold
