BeamingBeams are used to group short notes into chunks that are aligned with the metrum. They are inserted automatically in most cases. \time 2/4 c8 c c c \time 6/8 c c c c8. c16 c8 If you're not satisfied with the automatic beaming, you can enter the beams explicitly. If you have beaming patterns that differ from the defaults, you can also set the patterns for automatic beamer. See also Beam . Manual beamsIn some cases it may be necessary to override LilyPond's automatic
beaming algorithm. For example, the auto beamer will not beam over
rests or bar lines, If you want that, specify the begin and end point
manually using a \context Staff { r4 r8-[ g' a r8-] r8 g-[ | a-] r8 } Normally, beaming patterns within a beam are determined automatically.
When this mechanism fouls up, the properties

Kneed beams are inserted automatically, when a large gap between two
adjacent beamed notes is detected. This behavior can be tuned through
the object property BUGS Auto knee beams can not be used together with hara kiri staves. [TODO from bugs] The Automatic beamer does not put unfinished beams on the last notes of a score. Formatting of ties is a difficult subject. LilyPond often does not give optimal results. |
