Re: Settings for automatic beam slope

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello,

I made a test suite, which shows quite peculiar results:
– The problem typically appears with at least 7 (‘II’ series) or 9 (‘I’ 
series) notes under one beam, but sometimes also with 3 notes (ex. II 
and IIc)
– In each example, the problem occurs only for one of the voices. I 
couldn’t yet figure out the reason.

HTH, Simon
