Using the divsimp function I just sent, it turns out that your original
expression cleans up rather nicely using any one of several divisors, with
no substparts.

Try divsimp(test, beta), divsimp(test,L), or divsimp(test,EI); they all give
the same result as the factorsum/substpart/factor solution I showed you
yesterday.

As I say, that does depend on your knowing something about the structure of
your expression in advance....
