I agree with this, but I can imagine the following distinct engraving styles:
1. Beam over rests only when the beam both begins and ends with a note. 2. Also beam over initial rests. 3. Also beam over final rests. Further, I can imagine wanting e.g. c16[ r c r], rather than c16[ r c] r, but in the same piece preferring c8 r rather than c8[ r] at the end of a phrase. There would need to be a convenient way of cancelling beam over rest. What is the opposite of c8[ r c]?
