The relevant section of the manual is:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/beams#setting-automatic-beam-behavior

subsection: "beaming based on baseMoment and beatStructure"

from the manual: "If a common time signature is being used, 
beamExceptions must be disabled to enable beatStructure to work. The 
\set Timing.beamExceptions = #'() command can always be included if 
beaming is being determined by beatStructure. "

I responded earlier with the code to automatically change the beaming 
structure.  I jumped at the opportunity to assist with this list as it 
has been so very helpful to me in the past.
