Re: unwanted beam subdividing

[Vivian Barty-Taylor]

I've also been irritated by this problem in the past, but haven't found 
a way to automatically fix it. I use a substitution function which 
Trevor posted a while back:

beam = #(define-music-function (parser location left right) (number? 
number?)
  #{
     \set stemLeftBeamCount = #$left
     \set stemRightBeamCount = #$right
  #})

Your code would then look like this:

\relative c' {
    \times 2/3 { f16[ g \beam #2 #2 f \beam #2 #1 g f8] }
  }

  \paper {
    ragged-right = ##t
  }

Hope this helps,

Vivian.
