beaming-pattern for compound meters
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2228

Further review of the literature and discussion with Janek, along with  
testing of the patch, causes me to believe that the requested behavior is  
invalid.

Certainly the patch does not produce desirable beaming for any case except  
beaming the six semiquavers in two.

I am abandoning the patch, and marking the issue as invalid.

A workaround is shown here:


\version "2.15.24"
\score {
  \relative c'{
    \time 6/8
    c16 d e f8.  c8. d16 e f
    \set Timing.baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
    \set Timing.beatStructure = #'(3 3 3 3)
    c16[ d e f8.]  c8.[ d16 e f]
  }
}
