Simon,
Thank you for your response and the corrections you supplied. I need to read through it and compare it to output to understand the relationships between the code and the notation. Always learning!

When I copy and paste the code into the score, 6 Var WoO 70(5), the beaming changes. This is because the settings of the other staff, made through \time 6/8, take precedence, for whatever reason. Use a \global variable in every staff to avoid this, as seen in the attachment. There are some comments inline. There is a subtle change in behaviour also: The code you gave would have beamed 16[ 16] 16[ 16] 16[ 16], the one I made would give 16[ 16 16 16 16 16] as by default, which is probably preferable. Admittedly, <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/beams> <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/beams> is long and difficult to wrap one's head around, but once read thoroughly and understood, everything will (probably) be clear. HTH, Simon
