The a to b beam would have a slope of 1 ss per eighth note.
The c to f beam would have a slope of 3 ss per eighth note.
the a to f beam would have a slope of 5 ss per 4 eighth notes, or 1.2 ss
per eighth note.
If you choose the slope of 1.2 for both sides, then it seems to me that the
b stem will be longer than it would be without the beam on the other side of
the break, and the c stem would be longer than it would be without the beam
on the other side of the break. If you force the b and c stems to be the
same length, the a and f beams would be too short.
Thanks,
Carl
