Lilypond does not currently do "second-level" beam subdivisions.
Please add this as a feature request. I have been looking for a good
example of what it means to have multiple subdivision.
I believe this can be achieved; I will try to get to it in the next couple
of weeks.
I believe this beaming could be expressed as something like:
(subdivide . ((1 . 8) . (1 1 1))
((1 . 16) . (1 1 1 1 1 1)))
although I am not proposing this as the syntax.
It might be better to change subdivideBeams from a boolean to a list,
where each element of the list would be a beat length at which to
subdivide. If that were the case we would achieve the beaming in the
sample by
\set subdivideBeams = #'((1 . 8) (1 . 16))
Or perhaps
\set subdivideBeams = #'((ly:make-moment 1 8)
(ly:make-moment 1 16))
Or perhaps even (with David K's new syntax, where we can have duration
elements)
\set subdivideBeams = #'( 8 16 )
I'll put this in the hopper and think about it.
Thanks,
Carl
