RE: AutoBeam Behaving Properly?

[Mark Stephen Mrotek]

Simon,

May I be so bold as to inquire, how does the beaming "clearly indicate"
nothing more than distribution of notes between hands?
I also present the final measure of the Gigue of the French Suite VI in
which all of the notes are ascribed to the right hand yet the structure is
three groups of four against two groups of three.
To dismiss the possibility of a hemiola might deny some of Bach's
playfulness.

Regards,

Mark

The Neue Bach-Ausgabe has the semiquavers beamed three and three only in m.
97 & 98, and this clearly indicates primarily the distribution to the
hands: first three notes sinistra, next three destra. A hemiola is a totally
different thing, where e.g. in 3/8 time two measures are somewhat stressed
like one 3/4 measure. There are different interpretations of the phenomenon,
which mainly occurs at cadenzas.

Best, Simon
