@1: Yes, it does.
@2: Yes, it does. An a list is simply a list of pairs. Getting the value just 
scans the list and returns the first match. This is kind of a standard way LISP 
scopes work, and they easily allow to override symbols within a limited scope.
@3: To some extent yes.
@4: That is not correct, you’d need
    (append `((beamed-lengths . ,stem-bmlgths)) detls)
for that. But I do not see a good reason to use append for appending a small 
amount of elements, just cons them together.

About collisions: To get proper support you’d need to go into the details of 
the Beam position calculation and adapt it to incorporate fingerings. But if 
you look at my solution you can see a way how we can only handle those 
positions where we actually have a collision between fingering and Beam.
