I have an old comment in a .ly file that I once wrote, but it does not tell the LilyPond version it was usable in, as the file has been updated:
\tempo 4 = 120
\time 11/16
\set beatStructure = #'(4 3 4)
% Old beam settings:
% \overrideBeamSettings #'Score #'(11 . 16) #'end #'((* . (4 3 4)))
% \set beatGrouping = #'(2 2 3 2 2)
% \set subdivideBeams = ##t
% #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 11 16) 4 16)
% #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 11 16) 7 16)
% #(set-time-signature 11 16 '(4 3 4))
Thank you for this file. This syntax makes sense to me (but I haven't verified that it still works). I have never known the nested square brackets for nested beams as an input syntax to work.
I'll do some more investigation.
Thanks,
Carl
