Yep, i got it working, too.  I was just looking for an explanation of
symbols used.

>From what i see in beam-quanting.cc,
L means penalty for too short/too long stems,
H is a penalty for horizontal beams not covering staff lines,
Si is a penalty for slope being different than ideal,
Sm is a penalty for sloping the beam in different direction than notes.

but i don't understand what these mean:
Sd
F
C

Also, basically every beam "score" has something like c1/* , e.g.
c1/196. c1/256.  I didn't find anything about these in beam-quanting,
can you help?

cheers,
