Description

Your idea

When the note type changes but are beamed together and feathered, the diagonal beams do not look as smooth as they were in Musescore 3.
The appearance can be updated to look more smooth when different note types are combined on the same beam.

Problem to be solved

image

On Musescore 4, it is clear where the 16th notes change to 32nds but it could look more smooth like on the left.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the feathered beam case in MuseScore 4 with mixed note types, compare it with the supplied MuseScore 3 reference, and trace the beam-rendering code; done means the diagonal transition appears as smooth as the reference.
