Re: setting beams for "odd" time signatures

[Mats Bengtsson]

It turns out that what was missing in my proposed solution was
to revert the default settings:

 #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 12 8) 3 8)
 #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 12 8) 3 4)
 #(revert-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 12 8) 9 8)

Then, you can use
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 12 8) 3 8)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 12 8) 7 8)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 12 8) 10 8)

(or  with wildcards '*' as Markus proposes). Also, setting beatLength
doesn't seem to have any relevance at all here. I tried to comment it
out in Markus' example and didn't notice any difference.
