Comment #9 on issue 1817 by [email protected]: Bug in autobeaming 3/4
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1817
The fix for issue 2566 provides an option
\relative c'' {\time 3/4 \set Timing.beamHalfMeasure = ##f
a4. b8 c d | e d c b4. | a8 b c d c b a2. }
to split the beam in the first measure as {a4. b8 c[ d]}
The second measure, however, looks like 6/8 time because of the dotted
quarter note starting mid-measure. If the composer wrote this then this
measure should probably be played to sound like it has two beats. If the
music is intended to have three beats per measure, we can write
\relative c'' {\time 3/4 \set Timing.beamHalfMeasure = ##f
a4. b8 c d | e d c b~b4 | a8 b c d c b a2. }
