As you may know the auto beaming is weird, because it has to emit a
Beam after the real end point has already passed.  However, wouldnt it
be easier to simply use manual beams in the example? Putting a
footnote on something automatically generated sounds like a bad
practice, since it stops making sense when you alter the autobeaming
rules.
