Good to hear. Just curious: How is your stuff going to improve my
example? I think that cross-staff beams need special handling, since
the omission of cross-staff stems is not something lilypond can
recognize by itself. Or am I missing something?
Of course, avoiding beam-beam collisions in general would be good,
completely ignoring stems. There are real-life examples of crossing
beams, but they are extremely rare...

Good idea, thanks! Will try soon.
