Peter,

This was an excellent suggestion. I now have a BeamingOverrides variable in my standard header which I insert in the \score << [here] >> of my LY file. Works like magic.

As I almost always write choral music where delineating visually beats is an aid in singing (one's average Chancel Choir is not composed of professional, trained singers), I love being able to do it this way.

Once again Lilypond rocks.

Thank you.

You can do it once for each time signature you're going to use.

\version "2.18.2"
\score {
   <<
    % Beam 4/4 at crotchets
     \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
       4/4
       1/4
       #'(1 1 1 1)
       #'()

     % Beam 3/4 at crotchets
     \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
       3/4
       1/4
       #'(1 1 1)
       #'()

   \new Staff {
     \relative c' {
       \time 4/4 \repeat unfold 8 b8 |
       \time 3/4 \repeat unfold 6 b8 |
       \time 2/4 \repeat unfold 4 b8 |
       \time 5/4 \repeat unfold 10 b8 |
     }
   }
  >>
}
