I use a macro that I found somewhere, probably in the Snippet Repository:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

qBeam = {
  #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 * *) 1 4 'Staff)
  #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 * *) 2 4 'Staff)
  #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 * *) 3 4 'Staff)
}


\relative c' {
  \qBeam
  \time 3/4
  d4. c8 b8. a16

}
