I’ve been using Lilypond for a while but new to the lilypond-user list. I’m sorry if the above question has been asked for zillion times in the past.
I understand that I could most likely be able to achieve what I want by re-defining baseMoment and beatStructure, and cut-and-paste the contents of beamExceptions from ‘scm/time-signature-settings.scm’ but I thought that there might be a bit easier and more elegant way to achieve the same. I’m typesetting the 1st movement of J. S. Bach’s 5th Brandenburg concerto. Bach used ‘alla breve’ time signature but the music is actually 4/4 (or common time) in a modern sense. If I set "\time 4/4” then the automatic beam works almost perfectly. Very little manual tweaking is required. Thanks in advance for your help.
