Subject: beatLength / beaming in
4/4

Dear community,
it seems I have yet another
problem with automatic beaming (similar to problems I read about recently).
What I want LilyPond to do is to beam consecutive 32th notes in a 4/4 time
in groups of 4 (i.e. 8 groups of 1/8 length each).
From what I understood
from the manual I should simply have to
\set beatLength =
#(ly:make-moment 1 8)
to achieve the desired result.
But as you
see in the attached example LilyPond gives me four groups of the desired
length and puts the rest of the bar under one beam.
This is the same with
different beatLengths (in the example I kept only 3 32, but it's the same for
1 16 or 3 16 etc.).
In "\time 5/4" everything works as expected
In
"\time 3/4" I have one beam for each quarter note, regardless of the
beatLength.
I also looked at beam-settings.scm but can't understand if
this is an issue of correctly overriding the beamSettings (as I have a very
hard time understanding this anyway) or a bug. For me it looks like after some
counter variable has reached 4 (the numerator?) somethings goes wrong with the
beaming mechanism.
Thanks in advance for any hints (as I really don't
look forward beaming half the piece (the 2nd parts of each bar ;-) ) manually).
Best
Urs
