I don't understand, what is it that pl34's autobeamer cannot do?
(Does it have to do with duplets?)
this is beamed as
------- ----- -----
c c c c c c c c c c
\score {
\notes\relative c''{
c8 c c c \times 2/3 { c c c c c c }
}
\paper{
\translator{
\VoiceContext
\remove Tuplet_engraver;
}
}
}
because of settings in ly/auto-beam-settings.ly:
time4_4beamAutoEnd_8 = "1/2";
% 1/12 == 1/8 * 2/3
time4_4beamAutoEnd_12 = "1/4";
