Beams and repeats - bug report and syntax request

[Rutger Hofman]

Hi folks,

I am running into a beaming problem within a repeat.
The repeat is between two eighth notes that would
normally be connected by a beam, but because of
the repeat they should be flagged, not beamed.

This triggers a bug in 1.6.8 (on Linux, RedHat 6.4
I think I am still running). The weird thing is that
the bug behaviour is wildly different depending whether
a \key was specified! See attachments of the two different
things, with and without key, both wrong.

-------------------------------------------------------

Beside this bug, I would not mind to have a syntax
(or sugar for syntax) to specify that notes should
be flagged-not-beamed, e.g. a8[] b or something
like that. For obvious reasons, [a8] b does not do
what I want.

Cheers,

Rutger
