Well, if it's just about having 8th notes in 4/4 time beamed 2,2,2,2 then all you have to do is: \time 4/4 \set Timing.beamExceptions = #'() since in 4/4 there is an exception rule in place for 8th notes (you can look the default exceptions up in scm/time-signature-settings.scm). Else: using the optional argument for \time is equivalent to setting beamStructure afterwards, which is measured in multiples of baseMoment. So I figure it would be: \time 1,1,2 4/4 \set Timing.beamExceptions = #'() HTH, Simon
