New issue 2246 by [email protected]: beaming in 3/4 - a setting to not beam 3 eights against the beat.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2246

Take this fragment of music written in 3/4 meter;

\relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  a4. a8 a a
}

Current Lily beaming is: a4. a8[ a a]
Many engravings have beaming like this. However, beaming all 3 eights together is against the beat, and Ted Ross explicitly forbids such beaming: "Do not notate a 3/4 measure that looks like a measure in 6/8 time. Flag should be used instead of beam on all 3 notes". So Ross says the beaming should be
a4. a8 a[ a]

This problem is quite similar to issue 2228. To fix 2228, a setting strictBeatBeaming was introduced. I suggest we should use this setting here, too.
