Re: Beaming strategy

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you look into printed scores from your bookshelf, I wouldn't
be surprised if you found that they mostly use the same typesetting
practice as LilyPond does. Note that 16th notes and quicker are
split into 4 beams per measure in common time, it's only 8th notes
that are grouped into 2 beams per measure.
