Re: always set beam outside of staff

[Michael Winter]

I should add that I want to do this all programatically.

I tried using /rest but that does not change the beam position and then
the beam collides with the rest.

Another thought I had was to try to write a function that automatically
sets the beam position since that is relative to the staff, but I would
need to know which direction the stems are going. Is it possible to get
that value so I can set the beam position negative or positive based on
the direction of the stem?
