Wait… is your example **actually** what happens with Timing.beamHalfMeasure = ##f? It’s awful. That should DEFINITELY not be the default. In 3/4 time, my beaming is always in three pairs of eighths, unless the following two conditions simultaneously apply: (1) all sixth eighth notes are present (i.e., no rests); and (2) I want the measure to be felt in one, not three. Otherwise, it’s pairs of eighths beamed, or single eighths with rests in all my scores.
