autoBeamSetting Doc fix


From: Mark Hindley
Subject: autoBeamSetting Doc fix
Date: Wed, 30 May 2001 23:59:59 +0100 (BST)

The refman and back-end documentation disagree on the order of the
parameters for the Voice.autoBeamSettings. I think the back-end docs
are right and the refman needs patching.

 The value of @code{autoBeamSettings} is changed using

 Here, @var{BE} is the symbol @code{begin} or @code{end}. It determines
 whether the rule applies to begin or end-points.  The quantity
address@hidden/@var{M} refers to a time signature (wildcards, address@hidden
