Resolves: #23553
The minimum staff distance for cross-staff beams is computed by summing the minimum allowed stem length of the lowest note above and highest note below the beam. My original implementation however didn't take into account that stems from above and from below overlap each other within the height of the beam itself, hence why the resulting space was excessive.
Additionally, we now measure the distance between first and last beam segment (which for cross-staff beams can be both above and below the beam centerline) and use it to center the beam more precisely.
The action of the fixed-width spacer is now also restored, which allows to fine tune if necessary.
