For these sort of situtaions I turn \autoBeamOff and use
[ ] to write beams as required.

Subject: beatLength / beaming in 4/4

Dear community,
it seems I have yet another problem with automatic beaming (similar to
problems I read about recently).
What I want LilyPond to do is to beam consecutive 32th notes in a 4/4 time in
groups of 4 (i.e. 8 groups of 1/8 length each).
From what I understood from the manual I should simply have to
\set beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
to achieve the desired result.
But as you see in the attached example LilyPond gives me four groups of the
desired length and puts the rest of the bar under one beam.
This is the same with different beatLengths (in the example I kept only 3 32,
but it's the same for 1 16 or 3 16 etc.).
In "\time 5/4" everything works as expected
In "\time 3/4" I have one beam for each quarter note, regardless of the
beatLength.
I also looked at beam-settings.scm but can't understand if this is an issue
of correctly overriding the beamSettings (as I have a very hard time
understanding this anyway) or a bug. For me it looks like after some counter
variable has reached 4 (the numerator?) somethings goes wrong with the beaming
mechanism.
Thanks in advance for any hints (as I really don't look forward beaming half
the piece (the 2nd parts of each bar ;-) ) manually).
Best
Urs
