No, that's not the reason. The reason is that there is a separate
beatStructure for each value of the time signature, and changes are applied
to the time signature that is currently in force. So \beatStructure in
\seven amends the beat structure in the default time signature of 4/4 and
the one in \five amends the beat structure in the then current 7/8, which
for the short example you give fools you by looking correct.
So reverse the ordering of the \time and the \Timing.beatStructure commands
and it will do what you expect.
OK, I understand. Thanks for clarifying. I think it's worth mentioning in
the manual.
Re: Mark's comment about checking the examples -- I've found in the
SuperCollider community (where much of the documentation is "by example"
with spotty, if any, explanatory text) that users are endlessly creative in
drawing the wrong conclusion about the concepts that an example is supposed
to show. I've been similarly creative here. ;-p
