LilyPond /tries/ to do that, but the code looks like the result of too many 
single-issue patches, and many cases slip through.

Sorting out the logic, http://codereview.appspot.com/4293054/, catches all 
these situations and gives a clean make check.
The patch re-arranges the code enough that I will wait for some review.
