Hi,
Is there a reason for this default beaming? I get (3 3 2) with 2.15.8.
\version "2.15.8"
{ \time 8/8 \repeat unfold 16 a'8 }
This is indeed the default setting as expressed in
'scm/time-signature-settings.scm'. What did you expect as default?
(4 4)?
Or (2 2 2 2)
I suppose the dev that implemented it has considered (3 3 2)
to be more common.
Can you give me some examples of music that is (3 3 2)?
I was working on a version of the Pachelbel Canon which was the written
in 8/8 (the version not necessarily the original).
If (3 3 2) is common enough I might expect a special command for
groupings like this.
And I would tend to agree (although 8/8 is not very
common, so it is not that easy to choose a default).
You can change it simply with
\overrideTimeSignatureSettings
#'(8 . 8) % timeSignatureFraction
#'(1 . 8) % baseMomentFraction
#'(4 4) % beatStructure
#'() % beamExceptions
or
\set Timing.beatStructure = #'(4 4)
Thanks for the workarounds.
