Stefan,

This would require a rewrite of the AutoBeaming code.  It may be doable -- I
haven't looked at it yet.  I think I was the last person to touch the
autobeaming code.

For now, you should probably request this as a feature request on
bug-lilypond.  

Maybe I can take a stab at it over the Christmas holiday.
