And this is exactly the problem with the default LilyPond
output - small white triangles. See the attachment in my 
previous post:

Perhaps we could add a patch to the beam-scoring algorithm
that would penalize configurations that lead to small
white triangles? Or if there's already one, increase the
penalty?
