Thanks prefect, Jean! I did try to look it up in the manual. I searched for angle and tilt, and through all the LSR snippets that had "beam" in them. Didn't try "position", though. Is it worthwhile to put this work-around in the issue? I've seen issues lists where long-standing bugs have work-arounds posted to them.
