Auto_beam_engraver
Generate beams based on measure characteristics and observed Stems. Uses beatLength, measureLength and measurePosition to decide when to start and stop a beam. Overriding beaming is done through Stem_engraver properties stemLeftBeamCount and stemRightBeamCount.
Properties
noAutoBeaming (boolean):- If set to true then beams are not generated automatically.
autoBeamSettings (list):-
Specifies when automatically generated beams should begin and end. The elements have the format:
function shortest-duration-in-beam time-signature
where
function = begin or end
shortest-duration-in-beam = numerator denominator; eg: 1 16
time-signature = numerator denominator, eg: 4 4
unspecified or wildcard entries for duration or time-signature
are given by * *
The user can override beam begin or end time by pushing a wildcard entries
'(begin * * * *) or '(end * * * *) resp., eg:
property Voice.autoBeamSettings push #'(end * * * *) = #(make-moment 1 4)
The head of the list:
'(
((end * * 3 2) . ,(make-moment 1 2))
((end 1 16 3 2) . ,(make-moment 1 4))
((end 1 32 3 2) . ,(make-moment 1 8))
...
)
