1. Open score .

Expected result: By default (unless you apply special beam perhaps), if there's grace notes among normal beamed notes, the beam of the normal notes should break.
Actual result: The beam doesn't break.

Discussion: Compare MuseScore 's behaviour with Lilypond result (I also have the Lilypond file ).

Using MuseScore 1.1 (Pre-release 2) and 2.0 Nightly Build (4595) - Mac 10.6.8.

I can't imagine why I would want a beam to break if I haven't explicitly told it to break. i guess maybe some typographers break these beams routinely, which must be why Lilypond does it by default. But even so, I'd say that's something Lilypond might need to do because it isn't WYSIWYG and thus needs to more aggressively pursue a policy of DWIMNWIS (do what I mean, not what I say). Or maybe it's just a bug in Lilypond.
