Thanks for the feedback. off-list I got one strong opinion against providing the #'one option because it's incorrect.
I know it's incorrect, and that's why I had asked for an improvement around a year ago. However, it's the way everybody is used to, and that's why some might still *want* to engraver their scores that way. Apart from LilyPond < 2.19.21 this is what Sibelius and Finale users can achieve automatically (except for drawing the extra secondary beams manually ...). Well, deep in my heart I also feel we shouldn't support incorrect notation, and so I'm inclined to throw it out again (no big deal of course) and only provide the #'base-moment option. While I wouldn't use it personally I can think of scores where the new default beaming (with differing beam numbers on the different positions) might look too inconsistent.
