Indeed.
For quite some time i've been thinking that we could make more use of
Completion_heads_engraver, especially after improvements made by Pal
Benko.  I realize that it would probably require some work (which i
unfortunately cannot contribute now), but i think that it may be a
good idea to make completion engraver the default eventually.

Which isn't to say that the beaming shouldn't be fixed in itself!

best,
