My preference would be to eliminate auto-beam settings wherever possible.
Certainly in this case, where it matches beatLength, I don't think we should
have it.
However, I would have said to adjust beatGrouping, rather than beatLength,
in order to achieve one beam per measure.
\set beatGrouping = #'(2)
