Well, the other exceptions tend to draw the line differently (see 6/4,
9/4, 12/4, and the somewhat different 3/4 and 4/4 resume beat-beaming at
triplets rather than smaller). One problem with quintuplets are that
they are
indistinguishable from decemtuplets in the exception rules.
Take for example
\score {
\fixed c'
{
\time 2/2
\tuplet 10/8 2 { c16 d e g f d g f e d
c g e d f e g f d e }
c1
}
\layout {}
\midi { \tempo 2 = 60 }
}
under old and proposed rules. So I think that when changing the
autobeaming rules, we should try to keep LilyPond's defaults somewhat
consistent and predictable and not arbitrarily draw the tuplet lines
differently for every meter.
I particularly don't see why quintuplets at 3/2 should be treated
differently than at 6/4 as compared to triplets.
