In engraving from the Romantic and Classical periods, beams often
begin midway through the measure in 3/4 time, but modern practice is
to avoid the false impression of 6/8 time (see Gould, p. 153). Similar
situations arise in 3/8 time. This behavior is controlled by the
context property beamHalfMeasure, which has effect only in time
signatures with 3 in the numerator:
\relative a' {
\time 3/4
r4. a8 a a |
\set Timing.beamHalfMeasure = ##f
r4. a8 a a |
}

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,
