setting to not beam 3 eights against the beat.

Well, here is the evidence according to Gould.

According to her, 2 of the three beats need to be exposed by the beaming.

She mentions that music from the Classical and Romantic periods frequently  
use a4. a8[ a a] beaming.

Given that (a) Gould says it isn't right to do so, and (b) Gould also says  
it's commonly done in Classical and Romantic music, it seems that having it  
under user control is the right thing to do.

Now, as to why the issue wasn't fixed, I'll have to look into it.  I did  
find a fix that superseded comment 2, IIRC.  But certainly it isn't fixed  
as of right now.

But I think the issue is valid, and user-selectable options seem to be the  
right way to go.
