Hello,

what do the authorities say on beaming something like this:

%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.45"
{
   \time 2/2
   \repeat unfold 4 { \tuplet 6/4 { c16 e g c' g e } }
}
%%%%%%%%%%

Currently, it¹s beamed by half-measure, which I think impairs
legibility, so I introduced a patch changing this to beaming by quarter
note value (issue 4919).
The authorities say to beam by the beat, which is the half measure.  I
think that's why the default is what it is.

However, somewhere one has to draw the line – it’s certainly not an option to have 16 32nd notes beamed together (unless subdivided). And I’d draw it just below 16th notes.

Best, Simon
