Hi Raj
I don't know why Lilypond does what it does, but you can achieve what
you desire by using
\overrideTimeSignatureSettings 3/4 1/4 1,1,1 #'() \time 3/4
in stead of just \time 3/4
Best wishes,
Jakob

Hi,
In a normal musical notation when you have a time signature of 3/4 and
have a dotted note, eighth note, eighth note and an eighth note - that
the first eighth note should have "no beam". This is how other
software like MuseScore and Finale works. Why does Lilypond do this? I
know there is a \noBeam markup but in my case this is be difficult to
use as I'm dynamically generating the notation.
Any advise will be helpful. See the attached image for illustration.
Thanks,
Raj
