Many years ago I could nest square brackets in Lilypond. How can I
write this now incorrect code:
a16[[ 16 16] 16[ 16 16]] i.e. two groups of 3 beamed 16th notes
joined by a single beam.
The question is: what is the context and why do you want this?
Normally, this is called subdividing beams and there is a context
property to turn it on. This is explained in the NR at Rhythms -> Beams
-> Setting automatic beam behaviour (or similar). There have recently
been significant improvements to how LilyPond handles this, but IIRC
it’s not fully ‘there’ yet and in some situations manual intervention is
needed besides defining baseMoment etc.
What Jean gave you is the fully manual version of this and may be
necessary for ‘non-standard’ notation.
