(Consider that a subtle hint to the developers!)
More specifically, it would be cool to be able to specify the number of starting/ending beams, allow for direction changes in mid-group, and the total duration of the group. For midi it could then dynamically calculate the duration of each individual note.
I don't know how hard it would be to implement that, but I do know a bit of c++. If the developers need any grunt-work accomplished, let me know.
By the way, in my opinion, the coolest LY feature is the automatic midi pitch bends when using microtonal accidentals. It rocks!!!
a happy composer,

there is no native mechanism for this. i hacked it a while ago by making
two simultaneous beamed note-groups, with the beams tilted opposite
directions in each, and tweaked so the beam start-points were the same.
lily's spacing algorithm was sufficiently reliable that i didn't have to
worry about making one set of noteheads or stems disappear - they always
coincided exactly.
that was back on 2.0.0, so things may have changed since then.
if anyone else has a better solution, i'd love to hear it too!
