Re: Issue 60 in lilypond: beam multiplicity changing on rests

[Mats Bengtsson]

While you are looking at the beaming rules. Have you by chance looked 
into the
code that deals with subdivided beams. If so, could you also take a look 
at issues 11, 489
and 599? There have also been several discussions on the mailing list 
related to
the strange interaction between beatLength, beatGrouping, subdivideBeams and
the automatic beaming rules. In particular, it seems odd to me that you 
can get
subdivided beams even though subdivideBeams is set to false.
An example of a relevant email thread is
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2007-10/msg00056.html
I remember trying to dig into the code myself but never got the time to 
digest it
enough to be able to fix any of these problems.
