Risto, Graham These functions will work fine for any time signature and beam duration for which there are no beam-ending rules defined in scm/auto-beam.scm. But if beam-ending rules exist they take priority over beatGrouping. This is why you find 12/8 grouping is messed up, Risto. (Although a

Hi Risto I recently revised the section on beaming in the Notation Reference. If you've not looked at it recently the answer might be there. See NR 1.2.4 Beams. The precise method for changing the beaming depends on the time signature and the beam duration, so a simple answer can't be given.
