Re: override-auto-beam-setting in \layout{} ?

[Mats Bengtsson]

See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2005-01/msg00123.html
The score-override-auto-beam-setting function is included in LilyPond
by now, so there's no need to copy the Scheme code in the answer.

The first alternative in the answer cited above can be rewritten in
a slightly smoother form:

#(define-public (layout-override-auto-beam-setting setting num den)
  (cons (cons setting (ly:make-moment num den))
   default-auto-beam-settings))

\layout{
  \context{
    \Score
    autoBeamSettings = #(layout-override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 5 
8) 2 8)
  }
}

The problem is that you can't call it several times if you want to add
several settings, since it only appends to default-auto-beam-settings.
I didn't find any Scheme function that can be used within a
\layout{\context{...}} to read the current value of a context property.
