Having reviewed Gould on beaming, I don't believe that the 3/4 time
measure in this example shows a valid problem.
The rhythm in the 3/4 measure is an invalid measure. The three beats in
the measure are combined in such a way that the beats are obscured,
falling in the middle of the two dotted quavers. (Did I use that term
correctly?)
To be a valid 3/4 rhythm, at least two out of the three beats should be
shown, according to Gould (page 168, top of page). This rhythm shows only
one beat, the first.
Thus, the 3/4 rhythm could be
c16 d e f~f8 c8. d16 e f
Which shows beats one and two, or
c16 d e f8.c8~ c16 d e f
Which shows beats one and three. Personally, I think the best is
c16 d e f~ f8 c~ c16 d e f
Which shows all three beats. The beaming is appropriate for this rhythm.
I guess that beaming the three semiquavers together is the most attractive
option for the first two cases above. But that implies a 6/8 accent
structure, rather than a 3/4 accent structure, so I think it's incorrect.
So at the moment, I believe the 6/8 beaming is a bug. I believe the 3/4
beaming is more a misuse of lilypond, and there is no *right* beaming.
Thanks,
Carl
