#'thickness= weight of beams, in staffspace


We take the least squares line through the ideal-length stems, and
then damp that using

        damped = tanh (slope)

this gives an unquantized left and right position for the beam end.
Then we take all combinations of quantings near these left and right
positions, and give them a score (according to how close they are to
the ideal slope, how close the result is to the ideal stems, etc.). We
take the best scoring combination.
