PPS- okay, overriding stemlet length got it looking the way I want
(overriding French beaming seems unnecessary in this use case), but with
one tweak: I'd prefer to keep the position of the rests as close to
unchanged (ie where they would otherwise appear, were they not under a
beam) as I can. Obviously this will force all the stems to be considerably
longer than normal, but I'd rather that than have the rests suddenly drop
towards the bottom of the staff.

Thanks for the help!
