Subject: overriding Auto Beam
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to Lilypond and to the list, and I'm hoping that someone can
answer what should be an easy question.
I have a measure with a dotted quarter, then three eighth notes (in 3/4
time). I don't want the first of the three eighth notes to beam to the
other two, but can't get it to unbeam. Here is the line:
c4. c8 b8 a8
