There are lots of broken beams in Scriabin's first prelude <http://imslp.org/wiki/24_Preludes,_Op.11_(Scriabin,_Aleksandr)> The original publisher makes no attempt at consistent slopes. Peters Edition prints nearly-equal slopes across the line-breaks, but lets the beam height
There is a Lilypond version at <http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=1779> Applying consistent-broken-slope = #t (beware the error in this thread subject line) produces output with distractingly strange stem lengths. The patch at <http://codereview.appspot.com/5293060> seems to help. The odd stem lengths, required to match the vertical position of the beam across the line-break, are still distracting.
