Hi!

Sorry I'm not a guru of engraving practices, nor a core developer (not
even a developer).
But I have a general thought, Janek.

All the examples you show us are very simple minimal examples consisting
of repeating the same note and/or scales.
In real-life scores there is a melody and notes are usually going up
and down (not randomly but you see what I mean).  Also we usually have
a mix of beamed and unbeamed, sometimes mix of single voice / polyphony
and I'm not sure your minimal examples take this into account.

Hence the reference to engraving books and/or what reputable editions
do, simply because that's what a musician is used to (or should, since
we now find more and more poorly engraved scores using "famous"
proprietary softwares).

Cheers,
Xavier
