For determining horizontal spacing it is necessary to know stem directions.
In the case of beams, stem directions are determined after doing 
automatic knees.

It would probably be possible to revise the Beam::consider_auto_knees, 
so it doesn't use the relative coordinates (which triggers 
the vertical positioning).
