Hi David: Thanks for answering my inquiry about beaming 16th-note triplets. However, it looks provided an example in a file called "js.ly" that was scrubbed as indicated below. If the example is not too long and it's not too much trouble, can you reply pasting the content of "js.ly" in the body of the message? Thanks again for your help. Joe Srednicki

In this example, I used the "[" and "]" characters to achieve the desired beaming manually. Instead of using the "[" and "]" characters, what is the correct code to set the automatic beam behavior for these sixteenth-note triplets? I tried to set the automatic beam behavior by using \set Timing.beamExceptions and \set Timing.beatStructure as described in section 3.5 of the Lilypond Notation Reference (LilyPond Notation Reference: 1.2.4 Beams), but I am not achieving the desired result. Most likely, I have misunderstood or missed something in the documentation or snippets. Thanks to anyone who is willing to provide an answer that will avoid the manual beaming of these triplets.

I have no idea what you tried, but the below works as expected for me. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
