I am notating a piece of music that is in 11/8. I've been trying to figure out how I can get Lilypond to automatically group beams in a 3 +3+2+3 pattern. I tried the override-auto-beam-setting command, but it didn't work, I'm assuming it's because there is no auto-beam setting in the first place for 11/8.
No, this would not be the reason. It's actually easier if there is no auto-beam setting already defined, otherwise it would need to be cancelled first. But it can be tricky to get the commands' syntax right. Be sure you are using the manuals for the version of LP you are using, as there have been several changes to the auto-beam setting commands since 2.10. The settings you need should be somthing like #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 11 8) 3 8) #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 11 8) 6 8) #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 11 8) 8 8) to beam eighth notes as you want them
I also tried \set beatGrouping = #' (3 3 2 3), also to no success.
I don't think this worked in 2.10. Trevor _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
