## auto-beaming problem

 From: Ralph Palmer Subject: auto-beaming problem Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:19:32 -0500

Greetings -

I'm running LilyPond 2.12 under Windows XP.

After checking the manual, especially 1.2.4 Beams : Setting automatic beam behavior, and the LSR, I still cannot get Lilypond to beam 8th notes in 3/4 time in 1/4 note groups. Grouping by quarter note is automatic for 16th notes, but not for 8th notes, even though NR 1.2.4 says, "By default, `baseMoment` is the one over numerator of the time signature. By default, each unit of length `baseMoment` is a single beat. " I've tried
\set Timing.baseMoment
and
override-auto-beam-setting
as in the following snippet. If anyone can point out my error, please do.

%%%%%%%%%% Start Snippet %%%%%

% auto-beaming test
\version "2.14.1"

A =
\relative c' {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 3/4

c8 c c c c c |
c16 c c c c c c c c c c c |

\set Timing.baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
c8 c c c c c |
c16 c c c c c c c c c c c |

#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * *) 1 4)
c8 c c c c c |
c16 c c c c c c c c c c c |

}

\score {
\A
}

%%%%% End Snippet %%%%%

I appreciate your time and attention,

Ralph
