Hi David,
Thanks. That’s a very illuminating article from Mr Spreadbury.
I gather, then, that beam-quanting is the method used by lilypond to achieve
the cardinal rule of Ross:
"The placement of a beam follows the cardinal rule that when it falls within
the staff, its ends must either sit [on]

Hello All,
I have only recently begun setting some Early Baroque keyboard music (1592) and
it is full to the brim of phrases which are ornaments, 8 sixteenths beamed
together. This is very typical, and pervasive. Suddenly I am noticing that the
majority of the beaming comes out flat.
I have fo
Hi Simon,
thank you for that, I think this is really helpful.
I think I see a pattern. This doesn't *completely* explain everything
but quite a lot.
Obviously the decision depends on whethere there are none, one or more
notes outside the staff (outside in this context beginning with the
notehead
Hello,
I made a test suite, which shows quite peculiar results:
– The problem typically appears with at least 7 (‘II’ series) or 9 (‘I’
series) notes under one beam, but sometimes also with 3 notes (ex. II
and IIc)
– In each example, the problem occurs only for one of the voices. I

Well, the usual discussion of automatic engraving. Of course we hope
that one day LilyPond will simply produce perfect output. But OTOH

Hi Urs,
Im my work I set almost every beam manually (fiddly and time consuming, but
worthwhile).

I have a question regarding beam slopes.
Consider the first of the attached images where the long beam is quite
ugly IMO. I would prefer to have the beam sloped similarly to the
shorter ones at the beginning at the example, something like shown in
the second attachment.
