Re: cross-barline AND cross-linebreak beams

[Mats Bengtsson]

Upgrade to version 1.8.1 or newer and read the manual,
http://lilypond.org/doc/v1.8/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Beaming.html
especially about the property allowBeamBreak
It's a good habit to always specify what LilyPond version you use
when sending a question to the mailing list.
