Great! I have ordered Ted Ross and Gardner Read books (not received yet), so next time I will be able to seek myself in these books instead of asking on the mailing list what they say about this. I will probably consider buying Gould also, but later. And I have no opposition to your name, no "better" suggestion either. > I understand your concern, but I'm not overly concerned with this problem. > > beamHalfMeasure *only* applies in 3/4 time, as does beamFullMeasure. > > strictBeatBeaming allows users to change the subdivision to respect beats, > if they want it to do so.

Of course I recognize it (sorry if that was not clear enough). I just wanted to make sure all this was intended. I'm reassured and really grateful for that.
