I'm having trouble trying to modify the automatic beaming for a
piece
I'm working on. This piece has many examples of this figure in 4/4
time:
a8 a a a16 a
I would like the beaming to be:
a8[ a] a[ a16 a]
___ _______
| | | |___|
| | | | |
| | | | |
O O O O O
but the default is
a8[ a a a16 a]
_______________
| | | |___|
| | | | |
| | | | |
O O O O O
I can't figure out how to get my desired beaming. How do I tell
the
beam engraver to look for semiquavers at the end of beat two to
decide
whether or not to put a beam between between beats one and two?
I can't see any way of achieving this using the
beam-ending rules, I'm afraid.
If the semiquavers came at the end of beat one it probably
wouldn't
be that hard.
Yes - that's easy.
Is this the sort of thing the 'begin' beam-limit type
was intended for?
Even this wouldn't help. You need some sort of
back-tracking so that when the 16th notes were
found the beaming was restarted using a different
set of rules.
A music function could be written to take 5 pitches
and apply the durations and manual beaming to them.
