better beam direction algorithm (again)

[Werner LEMBERG]

[CVS 2005-08-28]

Lilypond still uses a non-optimal beam direction algorithm.  Again I
suggest to simply check for the note under the beam which has the
greatest distance from the staff's middle line, and to use its natural
direction for the whole beam.
