Cross-staff beam problems (collisions ugly slope)

2014-11-18 Thread Marcus Macauley
\version 2.18.2
\paper {indent = 0\mm ragged-right = ##t}
up = {\change Staff = upper \voiceTwo}
down = {\change Staff = lower \voiceOne}
  \new PianoStaff 
\new Staff = upper 
\relative c' { \time 1/4 \omit Score.TimeSignature
%%% Beam collides with notehead; ugly beam slope:
  \up d16 \down f d f \break
 Beam collides with accidental:
  \up d \down f! d f \break
 First  last beam groups have correct minimum stem length and
horizontal slope;
 Other beam groups should maintain same minimum stem length by
forcing staves apart;
 Other beam groups (arguably including middle group) should have
horizontal slope:
  \up d f d f
  \up d \down f d f
  \up d f \down d f
  \up d f d \down f
  \down d f d f
}
\new Staff = lower
{ \clef bass s4*7}

simultaneous problems with a cross-staff beam: collisions (of beam with

Since I'm neither a programmer nor closely involved with this project, I
thought the best thing to do would be to post this example and hope that one
of you will know what best to do with it.

P.S. I would have liked to begin this message with the introduction,
followed by the code, but when I tried that, the web form insisted that I
was top-posting.
