I would like to keep the option of using either system. And after further thought, I wouldn't want to remove every beam since the few sixteenth notes I have would be converted to eighth notes, and I would want to keep those beams. I did a search for "16" and created these commands to place before and after those instances:
removeBeams = \override Beam #'stencil = ##f showBeams = \override Beam #'stencil = ##t If I'm compiling without multiplying note values, I can set these to null and get back to where I began. Since I'm working off of a score with modernised rhythms, I'm content with doing my compilation checks without multiplying. After everything is typed in, I can switch on the multiplication and just ignore the warnings, since I already know I got everything else right!
