Comment #2 on issue 2798 by address@hidden: Incorrect attachment point of  
footnote to automatic beam
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2798

Automatic beams are notorious for not playing nicely with any spanners that  
need to grab a bound off of them as their beginning and end points are  
fixed later in the game than other grobs.

Would it be possible to document this as a known issue?  I know it is  
annoying, but I don't like the idea of writing a bunch of exception code  
for automatic beams. In the future, it'd be great if the Auto_beam_engraver  
were rewritten as a scheme function on a music stream that automatically  
inserted beam events so that beams could be issued at their native  
timestamp.
