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!

 

Mark

Hello,

 

The attached snippet, tuplet beam, produces the tuplets grouped in three
sixteenths, as I want.

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
