Issue 638: auto-beam-settings do not take into account *all* durations 
covered by the beam
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=638

Comment #6 by address@hidden:
If it truly is so, it should be changed. The normal practice is to 
break the beams at
certain places depending on the smallest note length. The rules should 
specify that a
beam that contains 16th notes must not cross over quarter note 
boundaries, and should
thus be broken at that location.

This is the way that most scores look like. If there are only a few 
16th notes in the
whole staff this rule may be relaxed. Maybe the Autobeam_engraver could 
make use of
the common-shortest-duration calculation done by SpacingSpanner to 
disable beam rules
for rare note lengths.
