RE: Offset beam positions

[Joseph N. Srednicki]

Kieran and David:

Thanks so much for the help! 

You also answered a question that I forgot to ask, which was how to rest after 
the \offset so that the changes do not carry forward. Using the \one before the 
offset or using the tweak version answers that question.

Thanks again.

One more thing: definitely add a \once in front of \offset (or use in
its tweak syntax...)
