i find a regression in 2.13.4 with respect to 2.13.3.

i recently updated to 2.13.3 and i was very happy to see that the
automatic placing of beams had improved greatly compared to previous
versions. but in 2.13.4 some things seem to have regressed.

see for example the output of this code in both versions:

\relative c'' {
        d16 d8. d8 d d16 d8. d8 d |
        r16 d8. d8 d r16 d8. d8 d |
        r16 d8.~ d8 d r16 d8.~ d8 d | } 


in 2.13.4 the dotted eights are beamed with the following eights if (and
only if) preceded by a rest. this doesn't look well to me, specially
when the notes are tied. 

in 2.13.3 this was correctly sorted out. or i should say, the way _i_
think it should be sorted out... :-) any other opinions?

best,

lj
