Re: Auto-beam in 2.6

[Stephen]

I want to point out that I do not think you need the revert to cancel them, 
since they will be canceled just by changing the time signature. You could 
also stick them in a def.ly file and include them at the top of your file, 
since they would not be in force until you changed to a 5/8 time signature.

Would you get a group of three followed by a group of two if you reversed 
the order of the overrides?

#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 5 8) 3 8 'Score)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 5 8) 2 8 'Score)
