For crying out loud. Thanks, Vincent -- I was so sure the solution
would be a complicated one that it never occurred to me to try
offsetting the first note to align with the beam!
As it turns out, the phantom beam members etc. aren't strictly
necessary; the following code seems to work acceptably:
\def\smallroff#1{\roffset{0.95}{#1}}%
\startextract
\addspace{-1\afterruleskip}%
\notes\ibbu0J6\smallroff{\qb0p}%
\hqsk\islurd1K\qb0{^K}\tslur1L\tbbu0\qb0L\nbbu0%
\qb0b\qb0d\tqh0g\en
\endextract
The flaw in this setup is that there's a little too much space between
the start of this beamed group and whatever precedes it unless you
perform the \addspace maneuvre with a negative value of
\afterruleskip. In the score I'm currently setting, this of beam
occurs right after a bar line, and in this situation the \addspace
correction appears to work well. I hope there aren't any hidden
catches that would cause problems somewhere else...
