Re: proper beaming question

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello Karol,

well, NR 1.2.4 discusses (in the paragraph starting with ‘In engraving 
from…’) this very topic, but only for ‘time signatures with 3 in the 
numerator’.
I think this is much a matter of style, and thus I, as a notorious 
traditionalist, would prefer the 19th century version. But I agree that 
it should be configurable for duple meters also.

Yours, Simon
