Perhaps.  But having to scroll down looking for additions
can be equally annoying.  There was an example recently
when a responder completely missed a second addition
lower down.

Yes, but I was replying to Hans who was already using the
#(override-beam...) stuff to explain why it didn't work.

So (being more positive) do you or anyone have a real example
when #(override-beam...) stuff is essential, i.e., when 
beamGrouping doesn't work?  That would be a useful addition
to the manual, or alternatively it might suggest 
#(override-beam...) could be played down.
