Lily (version 2.10.20 on Ubuntu Linux) seems to have an odd default for the autobeaming in 3/8 time. When there's a dotted 8th note followed by three 16th notes, it seems to me that the default behavior should be to beam the three 16ths together with a double beam. In other words, what I want is for all the notes to be beamed together, with a single beam between the dotted eighth and the first sixteenth, and a double beam connecting the three sixteenth notes.
What Lily's doing is beaming the dotted eighth to the first sixteenth note with a beam that has two bars on the right and one on the left, a single beam between the first and second sixteenth notes, and a double beam between the second and third sixteenth notes. I have worked around this problem with the following code: es8. [ \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1 \set stemRightBeamCount = #2 c16 \set stemLeftBeamCount = #2 es g ] Is there a more automated way to fix the problem in general? I've always found the documentation about the automatic beaming behavior somewhat cryptic. And if someone can figure out the way to automate this case, can it become the default without breaking the rest of the automatic beaming for 3/8 time, which is fine? -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (501) 641-5011 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
