In MuseScore 3.5 the default Beam Distance is 50%, however in 3.6 it's 25%.
However, the issue seems also present in MuseScore 3.5. If you change the font from style page it will change beam distance to 25%.
"Behind Bars" by Elaine Gould recommends the second beam to center align on stave line.

Which version exactly? There has been a related fix very recenltly
The 3.6 case:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (32-bit): 3.6.0.393660989, revision: github-musescore-musescore-
The 3.5 case (but also on Mac):
OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.5.0.12799, revision: fb3c202
Based on very limited understanding of the code my guess is that beamSpacing (0.25sp) from metadata.json is not properly converted into beamDistance (which is a percentage of the beamThickness), maybe due to libmscore/sym.cpp -- it seems to take the value directly (which would explain the 25% value).
Why a 3.6 32bit version? What nightly exactly is that
Latest is OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.0.404973235, revision: 8c98ded, 4 commits earlier, 5452b87, this should have been fixed
Ah, I downloaded the private-beta from github. But, I can confirm that "3.6.0.404973235, revision: 8c98ded" has it fixed.
