I don't get the two first sixtenths beamed together...

How do I beam everything inside that tuplet together?

Hi,

LilyPond beams according to whatever it thinks the background beat structure is. If your music is metric it probably pays to check the docs and play with automatic beam settings.

If your music is not metric, or if you like to specify or tweak everything by hand, stemLeftBeamCount and stemRightBeamCount are your friends.


\version "2.11.43"

\relative c' {
   \times 4/5 {
      c16 [
      \set stemLeftBeamCount = #2
      \set stemRightBeamCount = #1
      d
      e8. ]
   }
}


HTH.
