Also, this change is just one of many I made to the auto-beaming
defaults in the same commit.  These have the potential to
change (that's a euphemism for screw-up) the beaming of
existing scores.  I do not intend to apply such a change to
a stable release before it has been properly evaluated and
tested in a development release; nor should you.  Especially
when there is a simple documented work-around.
