Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
Beam positions relative to the staff should not change when the staff is offset. It seems, however, that beams continue to snap to the pre-offset positions of the stafflines. This causes ugly white wedges and unexpected changes of stem lengths.
Supporting files, videos and screenshots
The issue is particularly obvious for the second beam group in this example. Notice that the beam continues to snap correctly to the red line (pre-offset position of lower staffline):
