Why are beamed and unbeamed notes treated differently? Both take up about the 
same vertical space, and the horizontal space (of the note itself) does not 
really depend on the duration, anyway.
Notes with n flags can always be composed by stacking more single flags on top 
of each other, there does not necessarily have to be a glyph in the font for 
this, right?

I simply don't see any compelling technical reason to not allow durations 
shorter than 64th (except for notation style, but then lilypond should 
disallow beamed notes, too).

Cheers,
Reinhold
