Building blocks request for review

[Urs Liska]

Hi,

I've made quite some progress in generating a complete set of rhythmical 
building blocks. I think it will make for a pair of post on our blog 
that _really_ show that Lily is infinitely superior to any wysiwyg tool 
at least in this respect.

However, I still need some advice in achieving what I want (which isn't 
a complete copy of Aldridge's model but should be a basic proof-of-concept).

Here you can download the current state of affairs:

One thing that is immediately visible is that the DrumStaff #'line-count 
of 1 ceased to work (suddenly, I don't know why). All the other settings 
from that \layout \context are still in effect.

The other issue which isn't that apparent is the beaming.
Starting with page 2 I notice bars where the beaming subdivision doesn't 
work as it should. I assume it has to do with beatstructure etc. but I 
don't see how I can deal with that so it works automatically (with all 
these different time signatures).

Attached you'll find the sources used for creating the linked pdf file. 
The starting point is the to-be-compiled .ly file.

Looking forward to any comments
Urs
