So, what you're saying is, the default rules are interferring because they are still valid!
That means, if any unexpected beam behaviour occurs, you have to 1. look up the "autoBeamSettings" set in "Score" (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/Score.ht ml#Score or scm/auto-beam.scm) 2. revert any settings that might interfere with your time signature(s) 3. set your own overrides I think this is worth a doc addition. I'll post a summary of these findings on devel.
