Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, I was expecting c'4. c'8 d'[ e'].
I tend to agree Nahum, that this is not expected. I'm not an expert on these matters but generally expect to see 8th notes only grouped together when there is an even number.
I'm not sure what the psychological advantages are

The grouping which Lilypond chooses by default in this case (as in most
others) is the standard way of grouping such a figure in common practice
instrumental music. In 2/4 and 3/4, any consecutive eighth-notes within a
measure are typically beamed together (with a few exceptions).
It looks like Lilypond is giving the wrong output here:
{
\time 3/4
c'4. c'8 d' e'
}
The three eighth notes are grouped together. I have no idea why this should happen, because they aren't triplets. If the time signature were 6/8 then it might make sense, but otherwise I can't imagine why.

would c'4. c'8 d'[ e'] be what you expect? or what?
