setting to not beam 3 eights against the beat.

I started looking through music and found that the rule against beaming 3  
eighths against the beat is violated with impressive consistency in Baroque  
through Early Modern music.

I found just two examples where the rule was followed: One was pickups to a  
Beethoven minuet in the B&H edition. The other was an American teaching  
edition of another minuet in the series, but the B&H beams the 3 eighths  
together as shown below.  This was among well over 30 cases of 3/4 music  
with the rhythms in question.

Manual beaming might serve as the user-selectable option to follow this  
particular rule, as very few cases invite the confusion that this rule  
protects against.
