You need a newer version of LilyPond, or you need to write

2,2,2,2

as
#'(2 2 2 2)

instead.

Re: Fwd: re: automatic beaming behavior

[Reilly Farrell]

Thank you for your responses.  In this case, we're looking to set up
beaming rules that LilyPond does not follow by default (such as grouping
consecutive eighth notes in pairs of two when in 4/4 time, rather than
groups of four).

David, your solution seems just like what we need based on what I've read
in the documentation.  Right now, though, I'm receiving the following error
message:

error: wrong type for argument 3.  Expecting list, found 2

2,

  2,2,2 % beatStructure

../../../road-map-score-block.ily:20:6: error: syntax error, unexpected ','

2

 ,2,2,2 % beatStructure
etc.

Is there something I've overlooked in the formatting?

Fwd: re: automatic beaming behavior

[Reilly Farrell]

We are compiling several hundred melody and rhythm examples. Each example
references the same .ily file where global settings and formatting are
handled. Is there code for setting automatic behavior of beams that we can
put in the .ily file (not within a \relative { } block) to resolve the
issue?

(The desire is for beamed notes to reflect the beat - pairs of eighths in
4/4, 3/4, 2/4 and groups of three eighths in 6/8, 9/8,or 12/8.)

Thank you!
