The meter mentioned before, 12 = 3+2+2+3+2 with quadruplets, is very
popular in the historical region of Macedonia, on both the Macedonian
and the Greek side (though a lot seems to play it in 16 = 4+2+3+4+3).
There is a music example here, listening for especially at about time
2:00 and after.

So here, to get subbeaming expressing the musical pattern, one might
want to write the meter as
((4:3)(2+2) + (2 + 2)) + ((4:3)(2+2) + 2) * 1/16
It is possible to sometimes have quadruplets on the 3s, and sometimes
not. For example, in the original version of Makedonsko Devojce, which
is in 7 = 3+2+2. So one might want ot have more patterns:
3+(2+2) * 1/16
(4:3)(2+2) + (2+2) * 1/16
These metric patterns are then quite similar for other beaming
patterns, only that the latter can be applied to other than whole
measures.
