I've found some info in ‘scm/time-signature-settings.scm'
    ;; in 3 4 time:
    ;;   use defaults, but combine all beats into a unit if possible
    ;;
    ;;   set all beams to end on beats, but 1 8 to beam entire measure
    ;;   in order to avoid beaming every beat for entier measure, we set
    ;;   triplets back to every beat.
    ((3 . 4) .
             ((beamExceptions . ((end . (((1 . 8) . (6))
                                         ((1 . 12) . (3 3 3))))))))


Now I have to figure out to counteract this exception ('but 1 8 to beam entire
measure') since this is definatly not done in most baroque music.
