Re: Beaming on the quarter note

[Guy Stalnaker]

Peter,

This was an excellent suggestion. I now have a BeamingOverrides variable 
in my standard header which I insert in the \score << [here] >> of my LY 
file. Works like magic.

As I almost always write choral music where delineating visually beats 
is an aid in singing (one's average Chancel Choir is not composed of 
professional, trained singers), I love being able to do it this way.

Once again Lilypond rocks.

Thank you.
