Beams in FE (→GE,EE)

Beams suggested by the editors

In the main text, we adjust the semiquaver beam of the figure at the transition between bars 48-49 to the remaining, analogous figures. It is likely that breaking it into two beams was a simplifying solution of the engraver of FE, applied to avoid beams passing from one great stave to another. Chopin would often use beams going beyond a bar, e.g. in the L.H. part in bars 52-54 and analog.
