New issue 1723 by address@hidden: beam drawn over less than its full  
span, some OS only
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1723

The first beam is intended to extend over rests,
 but two users report that it fails to extend to the right

Failures reported on Ubuntu 11 and MacOS X (see thread) various versions  
including 2.12.
On WinXP, versions 2.14-2.15.3 give expected output on WinXP, so I have no  
image showing failure to post.

Workaround, reported in the thread, is to set the Beam 'stemlet-length to a  
value greater than 0.

Users of affected systems, please add a picture, and reduce the example to  
something really tiny if you can.
