Jean-Pierre and Bob and anyone else following this--
I have tried to reproduce the problem and J-P's proposed solution; and am
having very little success with either. Before we get to that, my first
question is: why do Werner's comments near the original h@linei definition
refer to "ledger lines", when this problem has nothing to do with ledger
lines???
Now as to the proposed fix, I have used the following PMX file:

==================================================
When I run it as is, in both lines, on extreme magnification in Gsview, the
initial quarter and eighth stems are displaced a bit to the left from where
they should be. The 2nd eighth stem in the first line is displaced a bit to the
right from the end of the beam, but is still left of the right-hand edge of the
notehead. In the 2nd line it lines up OK with the end of the beam but is still
to the left of right-hand edge of the notehead. Those are the baseline problems
I see, and note that for the end of the beam, they are not consistent from one
line to the next.
When I remove the comments, NOTHING CHANGES.
Am I missing something here?
