Re: inconsistent beaming...

[Mats Bengtsson]

I attach a modified version of your file that works.

You managed to confuse LilyPond by your additional \partial statements
in the middle of the pieces. \partial should only be used at the
beginning of a piece.
If you simply remove all '\partial 2.' and the bar checks at the
repeat bars (which occur at 3/4 of the full bar), your score will
process without any warnings and give the desired beams without
any manual beaming. The '\partial 4' after the repeat doesn't
seem to do any harm but I don't think it gives you anything either.


I noticed that you used the old syntax for manual beams, by the way.
From LilyPond version 2.0, the '[' as well as all other annotations
to notes should be inserted after the note, not before it. This
explains the strainge layout in your example since you tried to
include a halfnote in the beam.
