> Anyway, the first problem I would like to point out, is a strange
> default behaviour in PMX: some chord stems are positioned wrongly (too
> short), yet some ornaments seem to be positioned much higher than the
> beam.

> Attached you will find an example.  The first measure shows no issues

> default behaviour: the stems are too short, and some ornaments are not
> positioned accordingly.

> The third measure shows my manual overrides.
