Right, you have to scale the durations, since the total duration
of the beamed notes will not change. However, if you use
\times 8/7{...}, then you will get a tuplet indication, which you
don't want. I'd rather scale the duration of each note, using
bes32*8/7\p\>[ ges d' bes, c' ges
which gives the same scaling of the durations but without the
tuplet indication.
