Perhaps we are miscommunicating: I'm not talking about changing the
behaviour of the `autoBeaming` property – doing so would probably
cause what you describe. I'm talking about modifying the
`\autoBeamOff` command by inserting `<>\noBeam` (as suggested by
Aaron), which is something users have already to do if they want to
prevent auto-beaming at a particular place. I don't see any increased
computation time for this.
Do you see *any* advantage of having `\autoBeamOff` being delayed?
