Direction of beamlets

[Sven Axelsson]

In Scottish bagpipe music it is customary to have the beamlets in a dotted/cut pair of notes to always point towards the dotted note.

However, the default Lilypond setup for something like

{ c8. c16 c16 c8. }

is to tie the beam for the short notes together. Can I change this behaviour easily, perhaps by tweaking the auto-beam-settings?

Thanks
