Lots of work was done in beams in 2.13 and 2.15.
If you could send a minimal example (of one beam, say) and the version number, 
it'll be easy to ID if the problem has been fixed in more recent versions.
But this is a problem - it means that beam positions are being calculated to 
early in the LilyPond compilation process.
