Beam issue

[Rajesh Baskar]

Hi,

In a normal musical notation when you have a time signature of 3/4 and 
have a dotted note, eighth note, eighth note and an eighth note - that 
the first eighth note should have "no beam". This is how other software 
like MuseScore and Finale works. Why does Lilypond do this? I know there 
is a \noBeam markup but in my case this is be difficult to use as I'm 
dynamically generating the notation.

Any advise will be helpful. See the attached image for illustration.

Thanks,
Raj
