Only two? :) Unfortunately, the autobeaming algorithm in itself isn't powerful enough to deal with complex beaming - you'll probably find you have to use manual overrides such as the one I've suggested as and when required. > 1)now, notes are not tied together when they last longer than 3/8, which is > something i don't want, I would still like e.g. 12x x16 to be tied in one > group I don't think you can have both of these automatically, since the autobeamer can't distinguish between the two. I suggest reverting the autobeam setting for 12x semiquavers and using the manual override as required (a bit of a hassle, unfortunately, but simpler than manually setting individual left and right beams). > 2)there's a similar pattern to that I originally posted which it didn't fix > : x4.~x8. x16 x16 x16(again I want those x16 tied in a triplet) It's working fine for me. Here's a test file: \version "2.11.42" \paper { ragged-right = ##t } \relative c'' { \time 6/8 %turn off default autobeaming for 6/8 #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 6 8) 3 8) %use the following if you want to keep default beaming for quavers %#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 6 8) 3 8) \set beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 3 8) c16 c8 c16 c c c16 c8 c16 c c | c4. ~ c8. c16 c c | \unset beatLength c c c c c c c c c c c c | } Regards, Neil _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
