We are compiling several hundred melody and rhythm examples. Each example references the same .ily file where global settings and formatting are handled. Is there code for setting automatic behavior of beams that we can put in the .ily file (not within a \relative { } block) to resolve the issue?
(The desire is for beamed notes to reflect the beat - pairs of eighths in 4/4, 3/4, 2/4 and groups of three eighths in 6/8, 9/8,or 12/8.)
