Finally, I found the solution: I copied the exceptions of default 4/4 with minor changes to adapt for the shorter measure: \time 2/4 \set Timing.beamExceptions = #'(( end . ( (1/8 . (4)) ; 1/8 note whole measure (1/12 . (3 3)) ; anything shorter by beat ) )) With that, 1/16 end at each time and 1/8 are grouped by measure. I love lilypond! Thanks, F
