I've saved my appreciation last time, so for this output I have

+2

to offer.

And now for something completely different: when looking at those
examples, I thought that it might be nice if beam slope was actually
based on physical pitch rather than note position, so that something
like f-fis gets slope, and something like eis-f doesn't.

That idea might likely be catastrophic for beaming across clef changes,
though.

But I found the straight beaming over things like f-fis a bit
disturbing.  Clearly, from the point of visual aesthetics, it is the
obvious thing to do.  I am just not sure whether the non-obvious thing
might not be nicer in some way.
