Beaming decision touches the heart of MuseScore. We don't want to make big changes in MuseScore 1.2 to avoid regressions.

Thanks. What could I download now that would include a fix to this bug? The latest nightly build? Or maybe a pre-release version?

I'm trying the latest nightly build with a couple simple scores created in v 1.2. The first score loaded up and the beaming across beats seemed to correct itself. For instance, in one staff I have mixed 1/8 and 1/16 notes and in the first score in v1.2 beaming would cross beats but now in the nightly build it only beams the notes within each beat. But, the second score - no self-correction. And it does some really strange things. For example, if I change the instrument playing the drum set part, beaming changes in another staff playing with another instrument. In fact, little changes here and there will change the beaming in other parts, and then change back, and then change again, and on and on...
