So, now the first question ...
The terminology of baseMoment, beats and groups is inconsistent
between the NR
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/beams#setting-automatic-beam-behavior)
and the code. The question is, what are the components of the
following:
\set baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1/8)
\set beatStructure = 3,3,2
From the text in the NR this would be three beats, divided in three or
two base moments each.
However, the C++ code (and the code comments) refer(s) to that as
three groups with three beats each.
Can you please come up with actual quotes/evidence for those statements?
Neither of those make much sense, so I'd guess you'd been
over-paraphrasing either. Or alternatively, there are grave errors in
the respective description which warrant fixing rather than unifying
first.
a) from the NR section linked
"beatStructure is a scheme list that defines the length of each beat in
the measure in units of baseMoment. "
I read this as: In the given example beatStructure is a list that
defines the measure to consist of three beats. Beat one and two have the
length of three baseMoments of 1/8, beat three is two baseMoments of 1/8
long.
Actually this is consistent with how I would describe that measure in
prose: we have an 8/8 measure with three beats, with lengths 3, 3, and 2
quavers.
b) from beaming-pattern.cc
1) line 206ff., comment to find_location()
/*
Get the group start position, the next group starting position, and the
next beat starting position, given start_moment, base_moment,
grouping, and factor
*/
2) line 265, comment right after find_location has been called:
// Mark the importance of stems that start at a beat or a beat group.
From the actual behaviour of the code (and other comments throughout
the code) it is clear that "beat" refers to a baseMoment unit and
"group" refers to the entity the NR calls "beat".
The context property "beatStructure" obviously corresponds to the C++
variable "grouping".
