Harm this is very important you just solved the mystery :)) Sort of. It
sounds like you just admitted that the spacing out of feather beamed
duration notes is not always going to work correctly, but the durations
themselves WILL. Well, according to Gould, it's pretty obvious that feather
beams need to be spaced out according to the tempo of the feathers, always.
So, there's no way in LilyPond as of today function wise that simply put
makes feather beams spaced out correctly according to standard engraving
rules. Wow.

I would hope beg love for someone to write a function that simply put spaced
out notes according to the speed of the feathers. Finale Sibelius do this
for years now. Hack yes but doable every time it works. What's LilyPond work
around for this? Assume you want to engrave correctly and have your feather
beams spaced out as they slow or speeden up, how can you do it? manually
tweak space between notes it seems? Yikes :))

Do you think it's even possible to write a function to automatically space
according to the feather beam length and duration?
