Hello, I'm now composing an orchestral work, in which there are plenty of meter changes such as 5/4 and 6/4. Since I'm blind, I gave part of it to a teacher, and he told me that the beaming in 5/4 and 6/4 is incorrect. He told me the beaming must be clear for performance, so 5/4 must be 3/4+2/4, and 6/4 3+3. So, please look at the two pictures in zipped attachment. The one was directly from Lilypond, and the other from Sibelius, in which I imported the midi file. The beaming in Sibelius is correct, while in Lilypond, all 16th notes are grouped as 4th. I checked the time-signature-setting.scm, and found the setting for 6/4 is wrong. Although the comment says for 32nd notes, the line below it still groups 16ths as 4ths. Is this a mistake? Could anyone check the theory book for beaming rules and correct the scm file? I myself modified it and added 5/4, but don't know whether the problem has been solved. Thank you in advance!
