Are you sure? The following examples seem to work: %%%%%%%%%%%%% example 1: \version "2.17.4" upper = \relative c'' { \time 4/4 c8 c c c c c c c } lower = \relative c' { \time 4/4 c8 c c c c c c c } \score { \new Staff { << \new Voice { \voiceOne \upper } \new Voice { \voiceTwo \lower } >> } \layout { \context { \Voice beamExceptions = #'((end . (((1 . 8) . (2 2 2 2))))) } } } %%%%%%%%%%%%% example 2: \version "2.17.4" myNotes = \relative c' { \time 4/4 d8 d d d d d d d } \score { \new Staff = "RH" << \context Staff << \new Voice { \myNotes } >> >> \layout { \context { \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves } \context { \Voice baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 8) beatStructure = #'(2 2 2 2) beamExceptions = #'() } } } %%%%%%%%%%%%% Regards, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
