5.5.4 Beam formatting

When a beam falls in the middle of the staff, the beams point normally down. However, this behaviour can be altered with the neutral-direction property.

     {
       b8[ b]
       \override Beam #'neutral-direction = #-1
       b[ b]
       \override Beam #'neutral-direction = #1
       b[ b]
     }
