As I mentioned before, I find that justification a bit strange. (Call me
old-fashioned, but I believe that musical education can go a long way...)
But besides that, in the cases where it really does matter (as in Kieren's
example), such a "mechanical" approach just isn't the solution. Secondly,
when I explored the effect of that setting, I wasn't sure the outcome is
really that desirable:
\relative c' {
\time 3/4
\set Timing.beamHalfMeasure = ##f
r8 r r c c c
r r c c c r
r c c c r r
c c c r r r
r r c c c c
r c c c c r
r c c c c c
}
I left out some permutations, but maybe it's clear enough why the outcome
seems a bit inconsistent to me.
