No, you shouldn't need to change it. The dotted-qtr looks after itself
as it has no beam. 2,2,2 makes sure that the grouping is never more
beamed than this pattern: | ●-● ●-● ●-● | so a beam never crosses
the beat. Only 1/8 notes and shorter are affected; longer notes aren't
affected.
Not being clever, I just write a five-line stanza for 2/2 3/2 4/2 and
3/4 4/4 5/4 6/4 7/4 8/4. If I were to set a piece in 9/4, I'd add
another stanza with 9/4 and nine 2s.
#'() % beamExceptions
\overrideTimeSignatureSettings
7/4 % timeSignatureFraction ← 7 qtr notes in measure
1/8 % baseMomentFraction ← working in 1/8 notes
2,2,2,2,2,2,2 % beatStructure ← 7 pairs of 1/8 notes, so seven 2s.
Cheers,
David.
