Dear LilyPonders,
while trying to typeset some vocal music I encountered some
difficulties with \autoBeamOff:
1) \autoBeamOff has no effect on other voices when used in a global
variable/ghost voice. It has to be turned on explicitly for each
voice. This is probably intentional but AFAIK not mentioned in the
docs.
This is probably an argument for eliminating \autoBeamOff. As can be
seen
in ly/property-init.ly, \autoBeamOff is an alias for
\set autoBeaming = ##f
If you want it to apply in a global voice, simply do
\set Score.autoBeaming = ##f
Ah, OK.
2) \autoBeamoff shows strange effects in combination with 16th notes
and \partcombine. \autoBeamOff only effects 16th notes when they
happen to be in the first measure of a combined part. All following
measures containing 16th notes are beamed automatically as if
automatic beaming had been turned on again. This looks like a bug to
me!? (No problems with \autoBeamOff in standard polyphonic notation)
This is a *very* challenging bug. Partcombine apparently works with 3
voices -- stem up single, stem down single, stem up combined.
An \autoBeamOff call in the first argument to partcombine will apply to
the
voice that is active at the time the call is processed, either stem up
single or stem up combined. An \autoBeamOff call in the second argument
will apply to the voice that is stem down single.
In order to use \autoBeamOff to stop all autobeaming, it will be
necessary
to use *3* calls to \autoBeamOff.
A workaround is to \set Staff.autoBeaming = ##f
Note -- I do consider this to be a bug with partcombine. There is a
workaround, however.
Thanks!
Here is a tiny example (you can uncomment and comment the various lines
to
change the behavior):
\version "2.13"
{
%\set Staff.autoBeaming = ##f % turns off all autobeaming
\partcombine
{
\autoBeamOff % applies to split up stems
\repeat unfold 4 a'16
%\autoBeamOff % applies to combined up stems
\repeat unfold 4 a'8
\repeat unfold 4 a'16
}
{
\autoBeamOff % applies to down stems
\repeat unfold 4 f'8
\repeat unfold 8 f'16 |
}
}
In combination with \autoBeamOff \partcombine seems to require some
curly braces, e.g.:
\partcombine { \autoBeamOff\MusicPartOne } { \autoBeamOff
\MusicPartTwo }
I didn't find this information in the docs.
This problem is not specific to \autoBeamOff. \partcombine always works
on
the next two music expressions. Without the curly braces it would be
\autoBeamOff and \MusicPartOne that would be combined.
Sounds reasonable!;-)
HTH,
It did!
Thank you very much!

The same problem was reported in 2003, so it'd probably be worth getting
this information into the documentation?
http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.lilypond.bugs/2003-10/msg00041.html
I think a bug report should be raised to update the documentation to include
the information from Carl
