Subdivide beams in triplets

Hi all, I'm having some trouble achieving subdivided beams in this particular example: \version "2.18.2" \relative c''{ \set subdivideBeams = ##t \set baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 8) \tuplet 9/4 {a16 bes a bes c bes c d c} } I would like to achieve a set of 9 semiquavers (16th notes)

Re: proportional notation problem

Hi Neil. That can’t be the way to do it, even though it works. In pure principle, it’s way too much code complexity for the simplicity required. Just plain inelegant. Playing with your example, it is clear that lilypond is doing its maximum best to avoid a collision between the ledger lines
