Re: beaming in 6/8

[Mats Bengtsson]

The following seems to work:
\time 6/8
\set Timing.beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 3 8)

This should clearly be the default for 6/8 time signatures, so I send a 
copy of
your email to bug-lilypond as well. Here's a complete example for the 
bug report:

\version "2.11.18"

\relative c' {
\time 6/8
c8. d16 e f c8. d16 e f |
\set Timing.beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 3 8)
c8. d16 e f c8. d16 e f |
}
