Re: can't beam in a quintuplet

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Neil,
thanks! I've made a shortcut 
quintolbeam = { \once \set beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 20) }. I must say, it's the first time I had this problem with tuplet and beams.

Autobeaming in tuplets is a bit broken, unfortunately.

For this example, the simplest fix is to set the beat length for the
quintuplet; place this override before the \times block:

\once \set beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 20)
