Danny, Try not to get in the habit of doubting LilyPond! It can do so many things that most of don't realize. And if there's something LilyPond should do that it really can't, post a feature-request to the lilypond-devel mailing list. And if the docs are too confusing, or they fail to answer your question, posting a question to the mailing list is always a good idea.
The answer to your question is here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Setting-automatic-beam-behavior#Setting-automatic-beam-behavior specific reference is made to "scm/auto-beam.scm" On Windows, the directory tree for the scm folder is: LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current\scm Here's one possible solution. Hope this helps, Mark ------------------------------------------------- \version "2.11.61-1" GroupsOfTwo = { #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 6 8) 3 8) #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 6 8) 2 8) #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 6 8) 4 8) } GroupsOfThree = { #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 6 8) 2 8) #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 6 8) 4 8) #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 6 8) 3 8) } GroupsOfSix = { #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 6 8) 3 8) } \relative c'' { \GroupsOfSix \time 6/8 \partial 8*5 \key e \minor \stemUp b8 c d e fis | }
