86 1) after beam slope damping table suggested in [Wanske]
87 2) [Wanske] as well as [Ross] suggests that beams sloped upward must not
88 start sitting on a staffline, and beams sloped downward must not hang
89 from a staffline (similar for beam-ends). This would create a wedge
90 that is traditionally being avoided because it could easily be filled-up
92 However, avoiding these wedges restricts the freedom of beams quite a lot
93 while they don't seem to be a problem in modern printing.
94 In no piece of sheetmusic engraved after 1953 (Baerenreiter) i've seen
95 these wedges being avoided.
