I haven't followed the thread very closely, but it seems to me that the default
beaming behavior is justifiable -- not at all rare in common practice music.
The notation reference explains how to get 3/4 to break the beams by quarter
notes[1], anyway:
{
\time 3/4
\set Timing.beamExceptions = #'()
a'4. a'8 a'8 a'8
}
So I guess I don't see the reason for the fuss, nor any reason to consider bug
reports etc.
