and a third would be to fix the bug that's causing this in the first place.
I had broken this feature when I did that major overhaul of the horizontal
spacing (2.1?). Some of my own old sources didn't even work right. So I
worked on it over the weekend and I think I have the beam numbering
straightened out. However, as it now stands the up-downness of beam
termination is not always right, leading to a horizontal gap or overlap. But
this can be changed by the user assigning an up-downness to the last segment
of the staff-jumping beam. I'm considering two possible levels of
automation here, one an option to simply *flip* the up-downness from
whatever PMX does (fairly easy to program but still requires user
intervention); the other to detect the height of the beam termination
relative to the notehead and set the up-downness accordingly (no user
intervention, but very tricky to program).
Stay tuned.
