Re: spacing of gracenote beams

[Amy McGlothlin]

Hi Andrew

Thanks for that info. It’s a little aggravating because I feel it distracts 
from the really great looking engraving that is otherwise produced.  I also 
think it’s probably something not many people run into as most classical music 
gracenoting is diatonic and adjacent notes. 

I’ll give the function a try. At least now I know it’s not something I was 
overlooking. 

Hopefully this is something that can be revisited.
