Implements consistent beam slopes across line breaks.
says
To turn on this feature, use \override Beam #'consistent-slope = ##t.
I think that is a mistake: unbroken beams naturally have consistent
slope. So when breaking a beam across lines, Lilypond already gets to
play with stem lengths to make the broken output strictly better than
the unbroken output was.
The best output might conceivingly be achieved by very slightly relaxing
slope consistency. As long as we have no button for that, not relaxing
it is a much saner visual choice than totally discarding it.
I would not even offer a settable property for this as long as the only
options are on and off.
