Re: Automatic beaming in polymetric (scaled) context

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello Urs,

you need to change the beamExceptions for that, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/beams#setting-automatic-beam-behavior. The syntax for that has changed recently, I see with surprise :-)
So we get:

\version "2.19.3"

\relative c' {

\time 9/8

c8 c c c c c c c c

\time 4/4

\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 9/8

\set Timing.beamExceptions = \beamExceptions { 8[ 8 8 8] 8[ 8 8 8] |

\scaleDurations 8/9 { 8[ 8 8] 8[ 8 8] 8[ 8 8] } |

\scaleDurations 2/3 { 8[ 8 8] 8[ 8 8] 8[ 8 8] 8[ 8 8] } }

\scaleDurations 8/9 {

c8 c c c c c c c c

}

}

For 2.18.0, you might have to go back to the old syntax (I didn’t test that), but the general idea is clear.

Have a nice evening,
Simon

Hi,

if I use \scaleDurations to create polymetric music like written in

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms.html#polymetric-notation

there is no automatic beaming, see:

{
  \time 9/8
  c8 c c c c c c c c
  \time 4/4
  \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 9/8
  \scaleDurations 8/9 {
    c8 c c c c c c c c
  }
}

Is that really right or is there a possibility to make that example work like a "real" 9/8 time signature?

Best
Urs
