Thanks, that would be most helpful. I see that it was you who changed
it to use beamExceptions in the first place ...

Attached are examples using \quarterBeaming with an empty
beamExceptions list (what is currently in bagpipe.ly), and using
override-auto-beam-setting the way I want it to look.

As for \halfBeaming, it actually looks like the defaults work well
enough now. These beaming rules are from 2.10 or so, and I haven't
bothered with them since.

All the best
