Re: Beaming in 4/4 and justify staves

[Noeck]

Hi Christopher,

>> 1) How can I have this beaming in 4/4 as default? see attached image.
> http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/learning/automatic-and-manual-beams

\version "2.20.0"

\relative {
  \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
    4/4  % whenever you use \time 4/4
    1/8  % use 8th notes as beat
    1,1,2,4  % group them like this
    #'()    % no exceptions
  \time 4/4
  r8 a' \repeat unfold 14 a
}

It was not clear to me from your image how you would like to beam a
measure without rests. So probably this answer is wrong even though the
first measure looks like yours.

>> 2) Is there a way to justify staves?

In particular:

\paper {
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}
