I understand that argument and it has its merrit.

However in my experience such complex rythms aren't found too often in
choral music and certainly not in the piece at hand. IMO the advantage
of \autoBeamOff more often outweights the disadavantage but I'm happy
to agree to disagree.
[Note that my whole argument is from a singer's perspective, not an
instrumentalist]

Kind regards,
