Beams

Beams are not automatically handled, but they must be declared explicitely, before the first spacing note involving them is coded. Two kinds of macros are provided:

  1. fixed slope beams have an arbitrary slope chosen by the user in the range -45% to +45% (by multiples of 5%);

  2. semi-automatic beams have their slope computed knowing the number of normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\noteskip over which they are supposed to extend, and knowing the initial and final pitch of the notes they are supposed to link.
