Did you solve this? I cannot find anywhere in documentation an exact
information about how to explicitly tell lilypond how many beats should be
in a group of feather beamed notes. Like you say 1 eighth note what about a
dotted quarter or a half note. No idea how to force the duration of feathers
to be X beats in order for bar check success. Did you find the answer?
