This is a rough example of my engraving of beaming which I really like and takes time to produce, and I think looks very good.
This is an example from an old score that seems to represent standard music engraving (which I don't like as much).
The essence of the beaming in question is that the beam clings to the staff line. The beam does not cross a staff-space. Is this type of beaming called "Henle beaming" or "Henle house style"? Or is there any more history to this? I've looked into the resources I know and can't find anything.
I'd really like to understand if it's a product of 20th c. engraving (perhaps German scores) or does its history go further back? Any help, I'd really love to know.
