Comment #2 on issue 2361 by tdanielsmusic: Beams with multiple subdivisions
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2361

I don't think we need any input syntax to do this.  LilyPond should just do  
the correct subdivision if subdivideBeams is set.  In "Behind Bars", on  
pages 156-157, Elaine Gould makes it quite explicit that using a single  
beam to separate groups of four 64th notes is wrong.  She says, "the number  
of beams separating the groups [should be] equal to the duration of the  
groups they separate".  A group of four 64th notes equals a 16th, so two  
such groups should be separated by a 16th beam, i.e. two beams.  Four such  
groups should have two beams between first and second and between third and  
fourth groups, and a single beam between second and third.  She gives an  
example showing exactly this.  The example shown above follows exactly this  
rule, but in this case using groups of two 32nds.
