I would love to have this type of option, since I often do beaming for certain complex rhythms.
My suggestion would be to have a configuration option for "beam the beat":
* If the beat has no notes, and only rests, there is no beam
* If the beat has exactly one note, and no rests, then there is no beam
* If the beat has at least one actual note, and additionally either at least one more note, or at least one rest, then beam over all notes/rests in that beat.
While I personally hate stemlets, in the interest in accommodating others who do, it might be good to have another option that determines whether there should be stemlets. With the default being no stemlets.
Thanks,
Elaine Alt
