OK, thanks, that's one solution... but I guess that is not the "right" way of doing it?
The problem is that you want to beam differently than implied by the time signature you want to write. So you want to beam in what might be described as 8 = (1+1)+(1+1)+(1+1)+(1+1), whereas the common interpretation of 4 is (1+1)+(1+1) or perhaps 1+1+1+1. If taken literally, your beaming implies that the 4/4 has one primary accent, and on the 1/4s have secondary accents. Then each 1/4 has a yet subordinate accent on the second 1/8 of it. And LilyPond does not a dedicated function doing just that, though it might be possible to do write one.
