Re: Misleading autobeaming in 3/4

[Damian leGassick]

checking my Chopin and Brahms, they both notate your rhythm as lilypond 
defaults, so it's not a defect - i'm certainly used to seeing it notated like 
that in 3/4

to my eyes your desired version looks wrong, but if that's really what you 
want, then using [ and ]  or \noBeam as and when is easier than changing the 
default groupings, which may have other unintended consequences
