Hi,there is an issue with the documentation that gave me a very hard time to understand the concept of changing automatic beaming behaviour. So I suggest an enhancement to the doc page.
When reading through the section "Setting automatic beam behaviour" I encounter this passage:
The ending rules consist of a scheme alist (or list of pairs) that indicates the beam type and the grouping to be applied to beamscontaining notes with a shortest duration of that beam type.
#'((beam-type1 . grouping-1)
(beam-type2 . grouping-2)
(beam-type3 . grouping-3))
Unfortunately there is no appropriate code example. All examples that can
reasonably be found are only for the default beam-type, like:
\overrideBeamSettings #'Score #'(5 . 16) #'end #'((* . (2 3)))
The only example that shows me how to write explicit beaming is in a snippet
called/"Beam endings in Score context/", which is far away from the point where
the concept is explained.
Therefore I suggest extending the first example of this section (or rather
adding a second) with an explicit beaming rule set like
\relative c'' {
\time 4/4 % may be omitted in a standalone example
\overrideBeamSettings #'Score #'(4 . 4) #'end
#'(((1 . 8) . (5 3))
((1 . 16) . (6 6 4))
((1 . 32) . (4 4 6 6 4 3 3 2)))
c8^"(5+3)" \repeat unfold 7 { c8}
c16-"(6+6+4)" \repeat unfold 15 { c16}
c32^"(4+4+6+6+4+3+3+2)" \repeat unfold 31 { c32}
}
Best UrsP.S. I didn't add it to the tracker myself because I would like to have it read by someone else before.
