According to page 17 of 'Behind Bars', a sub-beam should be the length of a notehead - a normal one is used to demonstrate, however.

I think this is bug?

Title Sub-beam of small note isn't the length of notehead ⇒ Beam of small chord aren't small

Another choice has been made in MuseScore for sub beam length. It's a style parameter available in Style -> Beams -> Minimum broken beam length. This value is used for all broken sub beams and is 1.32sp (sorry I mean "1.32 sp" :) by default. So it's not always a notehead width but at least it's customizable by the user.

That's being said, the beam of small chord should probably be made small. So I changed the title.

We would need more real world examples to make a case. What would make a beam smaller? The first chord is small (Sib7 choice)? All the chords in the beam are small? Does it apply on sub beam and beams? etc...
