The proper way to set beatGrouping is #'(1 1 1), which means group 1 beat, 1
beat 1 beat, where a beat is defined by the time signature as a 1/4 note.

But this doesn't work properly, and it should.

I think this is a bug in the autobeaming code.  Could you please send a bug
report to bug-lilypond?

Thanks,
