Re: shorthand for autoBeam control

[Jonathan Kulp]

Trevor, this is cool!  I think in your first example, though, where you 
want to illustrate right-pointing flags on a lone note, you mean to say 
"set stemLeftBeamCount to zero"?  Or do I misunderstand the example? 
Otherwise the first and second examples display the same thing.
