http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2474

If you are talking about the beaming in
{ \time 6/4
%\set Timing.beamExceptions = #'((end .  (((1 . 12) . (3 3 3 3 3 3)))))
%\set Timing.beamExceptions = #'((end .  (((1 . 8) . (2 2 2 2 2 2)))))
\times 2/3 { g'8 a' b' } \times 2/3 { g' a' b' }\times 2/3 { g' a' b' }
g'8 b' g'8 b' g'8 b'
}

that is because LilyPond beams 6/n time as two beats of three 1/n-notes. That structure is appropriate for 6/8 and 6/16, but maybe not for 6/4. Similarly, maybe 9/4 time should not be considered to have 3 beats.


If that is what this issue is about, then try the settings in the comments and see if it looks wise to make either one default.
