Not with the pdf scores I've been producing by means of the new type 1
fonts and dvipdfm (Redhat Linux/TeTeX). Take as an example Andr�'s
typesetting of Mozart, 'Laudate Dominum' to which I on request added a
pdf score a few days ago. There are lots of beams in the piano
accompaniment. When viewing the result with gv (a flavour of Ghostview)
I don't recognize anything like that described. However, for certain
magnifications Acrobat Reader actually shows *some* beams somewhat
extended. But they get 'normal' again with changed magnification.
