Yes, it is.  Every time you set a time signature, the beam settings are set
to the default for that time signature.

If you take the \time 2/2 out of the violini music, it will work.

You can also change the default values for the beaming rules in the 2/2 time
signature.  This is described in the Notation Reference, section 1.2.3 under
the subsection Time Signature.  If you do this in the Score file, when you
include the violini music and set the time signature to 2/2, it will get the
new settings, not the original settings.
