OK I see. It seems the value is hard coded now, but in the case of
French beaming it would need to be different depending on how many beams
there are (the above code works for semiquavers, but I think the value
needs to be smaller for demisemiquavers).

I am happy to try patching it, but I wouldn't know where to start.
