Right now we put trills inside the slur. Normally this looks good. But in a few cases where the slur is short and/or the trilled note is toward the top of the passage, you get bad effects like this. Especially if there is also another articulation like there is here. Solution for these special cases is to disable autoplace for the slur or trill and adjust manually.
Somehow it would be nice to detect these cases and decide to move the trill outside the slur. The algorithm doesn't have a way to do that currently, but perhaps someday it could be extended.

What has this got to do with beams? I guess you mean slurs, don't you?

yes sorry that's right! I've corrected the issue title.

thank you, in fact I had to disable the autoplace and it looked much better.

I guess it's related to the same issue (in this case I just needed to shift the slur without disabling autoplace):
