Re: 3-8th notes, the first one by itself; two questions; what is this called and how to do it?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi David;

  You have:

  #'() % beamExceptions
    \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
    3/4 % timeSignatureFraction
    1/8 % baseMomentFraction
    *2,2,2 % beatStructure*

Would the following modification work?

  #'() % beamExceptions
    \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
    3/4 % timeSignatureFraction
    1/8 % baseMomentFraction
    *3,1,2 % beatStructure*

Thanks,
Ken
