FW: Automatic beaming global settings

[Carl Sorensen]

The message below shows a bug in the autobeaming code.

Please mark is as a Defect with High priority (perhaps it should be
Critical, rather than high, as it causes an intended new feature not to
work).

Thanks,

Subject: Automatic beaming global settings

Hello,

I'm trying to define the set of default automatic beamings for a score. The
new beaming function is nice, but it won't let me set multiple rules in a
global variable. Here is what I'm trying to do--I have a rule for 4/4 and a
rule for 3/4 that limits beaming to a quarter note:

\version "2.13.32"
global = {
    \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
        #'Score
        #'(4 . 4)  % time signature fraction
        #'(1 . 4)  % base moment fraction
        #'(1 1 1 1)    % beatStructure
        #'()       % beamExceptions
      
    \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
        #'Score
        #'(3 . 4)  % time signature fraction
        #'(1 . 4)  % base moment fraction
        #'(1 1 1)    % beatStructure
        #'()       % beamExceptions %}
}

music = \relative c' {
    \time 4/4
    \repeat unfold 4 { c8 c c c c c c c }
    \time 3/4
    \repeat unfold 4 { c8 c c c c c }
}

\score {
    \new Staff { 
        \global
        \music 
    }
    \layout { }
}

The problem is that with just one of those rules define in \global,
everything is fine. With the 2 definitions, only the last one takes effect.
I tried putting them in separate variables (\globalFour and \globalThree)
and then calling both in the \new Staff before \music, but that didn't work
either.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
James Worlton
