Unfortunately, this isn't possible with the current autobeaming mechanism, which only looks at one note at a time and checks if it's on a beat where the beam should be started or ended. To do what you want, it would have to also look at future notes to decide on the beam break.
Of course, if you are skilled in Scheme programming, then it's possible to implement a music function that adds this kind of beams. /Mats Steve Dunlop wrote:
4/4 time. Lilypond 2.11.33. I'm trying to get the autobeaming behavior to match an existing style where: * Up to four eighth notes can be beamed together (subject to the usual limitations on ending beat) * But, when sixteen notes share the beam with eighth notes, beams may not cross beats. Another way of saying this is that a beam can only have one eighth note and two sixteenth notes. Perhaps an example will make it clear. I want the autobeamer to make this: { a8 a a a a a a a16 a } to look like this: { a8 [a a a] a [a] a a16 a } Can someone help me out?
