Hi Kieren, my naive thinking for a 3/4 measure (or all n/4 measures) was 3 (or n) groups of length 1/4. So I am a bit reassured by your mail that this is not completely ignorant.
But of course the beamHalfMeasure is there for a reason and some say, almost every beaming in a 3/4 measure is allowed as long as it does not stop in the middle of the measure like it usually does in a 6/8. (Ok there is a bit more in [1], but what I found for my own education varies a lot for 3/4 measures). One more quote from [2]: > Just to clarify, the Royal Schools of Music Rudiments of Theory book states: > "The rule is: group together as many notes as make one beat EXCEPT .... if a > bar of 3/4 ... consists entirely of quavers, then all the notes should be > grouped together". (You can see from these lines that I am no expert here, so this is no voice for any direction - just to make that clear.)
