Problems with automatic beaming when autoBeamOff in 3/8 time

[Reinhold Kainhofer]

Hi,
I have a score in 3/8 time with \autoBeamOff. Now, some measures have one 
eight and then four 16th (all connected by one beam), while others have a 
dotted eight and then three 16th (again, all connected by one beam).

However, while in the first case all the 16th are connected by a second beam, 
in the other measure (with the dotted eight) the first 16th uses a second 
flag to the left, while the last two 16th are connected by a beam. What I 
want is that the three 16th are also connected by a second beam.

Attached is an example of this behaviour. The second measure shows the 
problem, where the first 16th should be connected with the other two.

I tried playing around with beatLength and subdivideBeams, but no setting 
seems to produce what I need... (Unfortunately, such measures appear so often 
that manually changing settings for each staff separatly is not an option).
Basically, I want lilypond not to make any subdivisions on the beams and 
connect as many notes as possible.

So, how can I force the sub-beaming when I set \autoBeamOff?


Thanks,
Reinhold
