Re: Kneed beams and changes of staff

Hi Gilberto,

> I would need one of those automagical ways

Even if you weren’t dealing with algorithmic music, an automagic way would be 
much better…

True! If you look at the following [even simpler] snippet, it’s clear that 
things are fine when un-kneed, but go wonky when kneed. It looks like the 
algorithm says “keep all beams at their highest possible position” instead of 
[what you want, which is:] “beam the 32nds together across the whole group, and 
then add the 64th beam(s) where most appropriate”.

I’m in no way certain (a) what the current algorithm actually is/does, and (b) 
whether improving it is possible/reasonable/feasible. I’m just “+1”-ing you 
here, having noticed this for the first time because of your post.

Here’s hoping you find a good solution!
Kieren.
