Subject: Beaming on the quarter note
All,
I've done the search and found much of relevance, but nothing that
gives me what I want.
I'd like beaming restricted to quarter-note groups for all meters I
may use in a score (4/4, 3/4, 5/4, 6/4). I'm not using triple meters
in this work so such is irrelevant to my purpose.
What's happening is that the automatic beaming is beaming sets of 4
eighth-notes in 4/4 measures, and 6 eight-notes in 3/4 meaures if all
the notes in them are eighth-notes. This may be fine for
instrumentalists, but it is not fine for choral pieces where beaming
by beat pulse is my preference.
Is there a method short of manual beaming to tell Lilypond to group
beaming by quarter notes always no matter the ?/4 time?
Thanks,
Guy Stalnaker

Guy,
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/beams#setting-automatic-beam-behavior
Also, the beatStructure can be overidden in the \time command itself by
supplying it as the optional first argument...
