Hello Pondmates!

Doricos old development blog features an issue about Beams:
https://blog.dorico.com/2015/03/development-diary-part-10/[1]

Daniel Spreadbury does remark on the the shortness of certain beamed Stems in 
Lilypond 
(Product C).

Increasing the Beam.details.stem-length-demerit-factor does prevent this and 
produces 
an in my eyes slightly better looking Beam.

Thus I hope to start a discussion on whether maybe Lilypond’s default value is 
maybe a bit 
too lenient on short Stems.

Cheers,
Valentin
