Re: Auto-beam in 2.6

[Mats Bengtsson]

revert-... will only remove start/stop points that have already been
defined earlier and as far as I can understand, you have to use exactly
the same parameters (for example wildcards or absence of wildcards) as
in the already existing settings. In other words, you have to go into
the file /usr/share/lilypond/2.6.0/scm/auto-beam.scm (or wherever the
file is installed on your machine) and see exactly what default settings
are done there if you want to remove one of these defaults.

I send a copy of this email to lilypond-devel, since your question
shows how user-unfriendly this interface is for the moment.
