Lilypond does not currently do "second-level" beam subdivisions.
Please add this as a feature request. I have been looking for a good
example of what it means to have multiple subdivision.
I believe this can be achieved; I will try to get to it in the next couple
of weeks.
I believe this beaming could be expressed as something like:
\(subdivide . \(\(1 . 8\) . \(1 1 1\)\)
\(\(1 . 16\) . \(1 1 1 1 1 1\)\)\)
although I am not proposing this as the syntax.
It might be better to change subdivideBeams from a boolean to a list,
where each element of the list would be a beat length at which to
subdivide. If that were the case we would achieve the beaming in the
sample by
\set subdivideBeams = \#'\(\(1 . 8\) \(1 . 16\)\)
Or perhaps
\set subdivideBeams = \#'\(\(ly:make-moment 1 8\)
\(ly:make-moment 1 16\)\)
Or perhaps even \(with David K's new syntax, where we can have duration
elements\)
\set subdivideBeams = \#'\( 8 16 \)
I'll put this in the hopper and think about it.
Thanks,
Carl
