There is no real reason that this needs to be done in C++.  The main
reason is that there is already Grace_beam_engraver derived from
Beam_engraver, and there is Auto_beam_engraver.  So using the same
approach here is making things coherent in LilyPond.

For a Scheme-only solution, I'd still consider the nicest way to go via
an engraver.  For something that is supposed to end up in LilyPond, I'd
go with the C++ route myself as that seems like the least effort and
least cause for surprises.

But uh, "least effort" does not seem like your main criterion, anyway.
