The direction of a beam may be calculated in several ways. As shown in
the example, the beam are be below the notes if:
@table @code
@item majority
of (individual) notes would have down stems,
@item mean
of note pitches is on the center line or below it, or
@item median
of note pithes (i.e. the centermost element of ordered pitches) is 
on the center line or below it.
@end table

If your favourite algorithm is not one of these, you can hook up your 
own one. 
(These beam direction functions are defined in @file{scm/beam.scm}.)
