(Consider that a subtle hint to the developers!)More specifically, it would be cool to be able to specify the number of starting/ending beams, allow for direction changes in mid-group, and the total duration of the group. For midi it could then dynamically calculate the duration of each individual note.
I don't know how hard it would be to implement that, but I do know a bit of c++. If the developers need any grunt-work accomplished, let me know.
By the way, in my opinion, the coolest LY feature is the automatic midi pitch bends when using microtonal accidentals. It rocks!!!

If so, how?there is no native mechanism for this. i hacked it a while ago by makingtwo simultaneous beamed note-groups, with the beams tilted opposite directions in each, and tweaked so the beam start-points were the same.lily's spacing algorithm was sufficiently reliable that i didn't have to worry about making one set of noteheads or stems disappear - they alwayscoincided exactly. that was back on 2.0.0, so things may have changed since then. if anyone else has a better solution, i'd love to hear it too! -p
