Hi,

I suppose it is due to  beamExceptions  that is set for 8th in 4/4
(see ‘scm/time-signature-settings.scm’).

This works:

\relative c' {
 \time 4/4
 \set Timing.baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
 \set Timing.beatStructure = #'(3 3 2)
 \set Timing.beamExceptions = #'()
 c8 c c c c c c c
}

But this behaviour is strange (non expected from a user point of view)
and should be changed or at least documented.

Carl, thoughts?

Cheers,
Xavier
