auto-beaming problem

[Ralph Palmer]

Greetings -

I'm running LilyPond 2.12 under Windows XP.

After checking the manual, especially 1.2.4 Beams : Setting automatic beam behavior, and the LSR, I still cannot get Lilypond to beam 8th notes in 3/4 time in 1/4 note groups. Grouping by quarter note is automatic for 16th notes, but not for 8th notes, even though NR 1.2.4 says, "By default, baseMoment is
the one over numerator of the time signature.  By default,
each unit of length baseMoment is a single beat.
" I've tried 
\set Timing.baseMoment
and
override-auto-beam-setting
as in the following snippet. If anyone can point out my error, please do.

%%%%%%%%%% Start Snippet %%%%%

% auto-beaming test
\version "2.14.1"

A = 
\relative c' {
  \clef treble
  \key c \major
  \time 3/4

  c8 c c c c c |
  c16 c c c c c c c c c c c |

  \set Timing.baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
  c8 c c c c c |
  c16 c c c c c c c c c c c |

  #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * *) 1 4)
  c8 c c c c c |
  c16 c c c c c c c c c c c |

}
 
\score {
  \A
}

%%%%% End Snippet %%%%%

I appreciate your time and attention,

Ralph
