Re: beaming problem

[address@hidden]

Haipeng,

Now that I have seen the two versions of beaming from Sibelius and LilyPond I 
would say this; As a performing orchestral musician myself, I would very much 
rather see the LilyPond version with sixteenths grouped as quarters rather than 
the Sibelius version with long groups of sixteenths.  If you feel a strong need 
to show beat grouping then you should, at the very least, use subdivisions as 
Simon showed.  Those long groups of sixteenths are, frankly, annoying to read 
without some sort of sub-grouping.
