Re: triplets

[Mats Bengtsson]

I forward a generalized version of your question to the developers:
Does anyone object if I submit a patch for the default auto beam
settings corresponding to

#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 3 4) 1 4)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 3 4) 2 4)

i.e. that all beams end on every beat in 3/4 (except for 32:th notes where
the beams end at every 8th note already now)?
