Although a more elegant solution was put forward in another thread, I
thought I'd share a music function that uses the pattern:
stemRightBeamCount = n
note
stemLeftBeamCount = n
...which I encounter often. You could use it like this:
%%%
\version "2.26.0"
% Subdivide beams
% e.g.: a32 \sdb #2 b a b
sdb = #(define-music-function
(n m)
(integer? ly:music?)
#{
\set stemRightBeamCount = #n
#m
\set stemLeftBeamCount = #n
#})
\relative c' {
\tuplet 6/4 { c16 \sdb #1 c c \sdb #1 c \tuplet 3/2 { c c c} }
}
%%
