Hm well, the piece (SATB) is practically made up entirely of such groups, also 
with different time signatures. I wanted to avoid having to check the entire 
piece again and again for side-effects if I use commands with too wide-spread 
effects in case I have measures that should not be grouped in this manner.

(My goal is always to minimise special cases that need extra manual tweaking.)

*ashamed* I actually looked there, but didn’t scroll the PDF down far enough.

I should have used a bigger image in my first post to make it more clear. I’ll 
make up for it now, showing the full line of both the original and my remake.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that after I sent the message. :o)
override-auto-beam-settings wasn’t the right thing anyway, so I deleted those.
It’s now perfect and exactly like the original. Thanks for the help.
