RE: Beam subdivided at non-periodic intervals

Javier,

 

Certainly more elegant and efficient than mine. Thank you for the instructions.

The \subdivideBeams statement adds the unwanted subdivisions at the time signature beats.
Once I did away with this, the passage renders with just two overrides per break in the beam.  Not as elegant as defining a custom beat count structure, but the intent is clear.

\version "2.18.2"

\relative c''''{

\time 4/4

\key g \minor

\ottava #1

ees16 [ \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 d \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1

f ees \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 d \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1

c b d \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 c \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1

bes a g fis]

}

I'm surprised that it does.  Thanks for coming up with that option.

I was stuck in the section on Subdivided beams, but failed to come up with any combination of \baseMoment and \beatStructure that would render these beam subdivisions.

Javier,

 

I am not sure it is the most elegant solution, yet it appears to work.

The command “\set stemLeftBeamCount” is at

I need help implementing beam subdivisions with non-periodic beat structure (see image). Thank You!

 

Below base code for this measure:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.18.2"

\relative c''''{

\time 4/4

\key g \minor

\set subdivideBeams = ##t

\ottava #1

ees16[ d f ees d c b d c bes a g fis]

}
