because your 6/8 groups include rests. Automatic grouping will be active if you
replace the rests with dots or else you'll have to explicitly beam the groups.
r8d [ a14 o> a84 ] | a84.a4 a84 a84.a4 a84 | [ a84 r1 a14 a84 ] [ a r1 a14 a84 ] /
a84 r1 a14 a84 a r1 a14 a84 | a84 r1 a14 a84 a r1 a14 a84 /
The pmx doc says that explicit beaming of groups containing rests is possibly only
when the rests are not at the end of a group. Not the less the pmx syntax checking
happily accepts beaming of groups not adhering to that rule. Try for example to
replace the above quoted pickup bar with:
[ r8d a14 o> a84 ]
and look at the dvi result afterwards !
