I can't look at my music without Patterson Beams applied, now that I'm used to the way they make the music easy on the eyes.

I know I am in the minority here, but I confess I prefer Finale's default beaming to that produced by Patterson Beams. As for automatic features, I don't like *any* of them: they don't allow for the engraver's judgement, and they form a constant risk of undoing, e.g., one's carefully customized note spacing.
