Beaming

[Joerg Anders]

Hi all!

I wanted to learn more about the "wonder of beaming"! I hoped
LilyPond could help me. But it is difficult to
find a rule.  How many notes are grouped ? It has to do with
the time signature. But how ? The more examples I test the less I understand.

Is there any rule, at all ? Or does it depend on the author/editor ?
Does anybody know an URL about this topic ? Or perhaps a pointer
into the LilyPond C code ?
