Well, beamGrouping deals with beatLength.  If you wanted to set up
a beaming rule that only affected other durations, you'd need to
use #(override-beam...)

Hmm... say, 3/4 time?  beatLength would be 4.  You could manually
set that to 8 for some reason, and set beamGrouping to (6), but
still want to end 16th note beams at every quarter.  You'd then
need override-beam.
