There's no point in naming the contexts here. You could save some
typing by simply saying
\new Voice { \voiceThree b'4}

For the beam slant, it's tedious but possible to manually specify the 
position of the
end points of the beam, see the example called beam-control.ly in the 
Tips and Tricks
document.
