Comment #23 on 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
I started looking through music and found that the rule against beaming 3
eighths against the beat is violated with impressive consistency in Baroque
through Early Modern music.
I found just two examples where the rule was followed: One was pickups to a
Beethoven minuet in the B&H edition. The other was an American teaching
edition of another minuet in the series, but the B&H beams the 3 eighths
together as shown below. This was among well over 30 cases of 3/4 music
with the rhythms in question.
Manual beaming might serve as the user-selectable option to follow this
particular rule, as very few cases invite the confusion that this rule
protects against.
