Re: beam breaking in tuplets

[Victor Eijkhout]

I don't think you want that. Just try this:

\relative c'' {
\time 3/4
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 3 16)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 6 16)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 9 16)
\times 3/4 { r4 g8 a16 bes a8 bes16 c d8 c16 bes } |
r4 g8 a16 bes a16 bes c8  |
}
\version "2.9.27"

Bad side effects.

But I think this approach points to a design error. Beam breaking is  
a visual operation, not a mathematical one. I want a sixteenth beam  
broken at any beat boundary, no matter whether this is in 4/4 time or  
in a 27 over 26 fragment.

Imho, of course.

Btw, that raises another question I''ve been meaning to ask: do  
assignments have scope? Can I limit this beam setting overriding to  
one fragment, without explicitly restoring the old rules? (Lilypond  
looks so much like TeX that I would really expect such a mechanism to  
exist.)
