Re: Beaming over a rest before a subdivision

Hi Urs,

Indeed.  =)
I have some syntactic sugar for just such efforts.

From the standpoint of clarity [of beat division/subdivision], this is 100% 
clear.

However, it may not be the most elegant *looking* solution… In particular, when 
there are that many beams, and the rests get pushed “out from under the 
umbrella”, it’s a little disconcerting. See what it looks like if you lengthen 
the stems, allowing the rests to at least poke their heads up below the 
“baseline”.

Best,
Kieren.
