Hi,
It seems that the \time 2/4 command in your left hand (through \global )
is processed by LilyPond not exactly at the same time as the
\set Timing.beam… , but a few milliseconds later, thus "resetting back
to default 2/4 beaming in the whole score".
I'd suggest to either use \overrideTimeSignatureSettings 2/4 etc.
(see NR 1.2.3 Displaying rhythms > Time signature)
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms.html#time-signature
either put \set Timing.beam… in the "global" variable as well.
Cheers,
Xavier
