Maybe I can put Read's rule in PMX as
an optional default. Any votes?
I think, this would save a lot of adaption in the sheet.
Something else:
Is this possible: shorten the double beam stem:
ie. \ibbl1g0 --> \ibbl1h0 and \ibbu1g0 --> \ibbu1f0
Then they would be of equal hight

Andre, that works! I'll try to build it into pmx. I think I can just have
PMX apply \loff to the \tbb*. I tested that on a TeX file and it worked.
To
be honest my feeble brain is having trouble wading through the logic of
the
re-definitions, but I think I can have PMX fix it without using any
re-definitions.
One other comment: I was looking in Gardiner Read for info about this. It
not real clear, but I think he's saying that for double beams, the tops
should be the same height above their notes and stems don't lengthen, but
then when you add a third beam, you add it on the far side from the notes,
adding height to the top of the beam. That is NOT how MusixTeX beams work;
every added beam lengthens the stems. Maybe I can put Read's rule in PMX
as
an optional default. Any votes?

Thanks, Don for the explanation, i must confess, i was not aware of the
third argument after [.
I do not know how to change the behaviour of musixtex to adapt the short
beams, but if you shift them a little bit (or much more) to the left
they
seems to vanish.
The example is only for upper beams
