AutoBeam Behaving Properly?

[Karen Billings]

Hi All,

I have encountered an auto-beaming problem (actually, the Violist for whom I'm doing transcriptions brought it to my attention).

When working in 3/4, Lilypond is autobeaming 8th notes in groups of 3 8th notes per pulse (as if it were 6/8) rather than in groups of 2 8th notes per pulse.

Is this the expected behavior?  Is there an easier workaround than repeatedly turning autobeaming on and off?

Attached is my Lilypond file [...Faith(1).ly], along with the resulting output [...Faith(1).pdf] with the misleading (6/8) beaming behavior.  I've also attached another output file [...Faith.pdf] that has the expected beaming.  (I used \autoBeamOn and \autoBeamOff to control the beaming.)

Thanks for your help!

Karen
