I. Beaming a strictly alternating time signature, (A/B) + (C/D)
The first part of the measure is beamed with the settings for A/B, and
the second part of the measure is beamed with the settings for C/D.
LilyPond 2.24 got this wrong and 2.25 gets it right. [1]
Just to clarify my comments: I think this is broadly correct practice,
but in the specific case of (2/8)+(3/8) (or really 2/8 plus anything, or
anything plus 2/8 etc), my experience with these meters in the wild is
that standard practice is to beam the two eighth notes of the 2/8 part
together, not leave them unbeamed.
Are you saying that the behavior described in (I) is incorrect because
it lacks special treatment for 2/8, or that it is correct but the
default beaming of 2/8 is incorrect?
