It is great to see a GSoC project moving along so nicely.
I'll admit I have not been paying enough attention to this project
to know whether or not the improvements will address the
beaming use case that I run into.
Or, maybe my use case can already be addressed and I simply
don't fully understand how to use automatic beaming?
My use case is for a preferred way to beam 8ths in 4/4 is
c8 [ 8 8 8 ] c8 [ 8 8 8 ]
Which, of course, is straightforward. However, when there are
only 3 8th notes, I prefer to beam to the beat like
r8 c c [ c ] r c c [ c ]
c8 [ c ] c r c [ c ] c r
Rather than the current behavior, which is to beam all 3 notes like
r8 c [ c c ] r c [ c c ]
c8 [ c c ] r c [ c c ] r
I do know how to set automatic beaming to produce that,
but in that case, the 4 8th note case becomes
c8 [ c ] c [ c ] c [ c ] c [ c ]
So, can anyone explain whether it is, or will be, possible
to have automatic beaming in 4/4 that behaves like this:
c8 [ c c c ] c [ c c c ]
r8 c c [ c ] r c c [ c ]
c8 [ c ] c r c [ c ] c r
Thanks,
