I have on supplementary based on what you have said.

If you look at one of the original examples (I'll attach it here as well),
you can see engravings for 'single' notes (which may not be the same as
'beats' hence my supplementary.

Indeed, in 4/8 the beat (baseMoment) is 1/8 not 1/4

This is 4/8 time but the notes are crotchets (i.e. 4 not 8) so is this
effectively '2' beats in this context ?

True as well, beatStructure in 4/8 is '(2 2)

So below works as expected:

\new Staff \with { \consists "Measure_grouping_engraver" }
{
  \time 4/8
  a'4 4
}

Though, there is another not yet mentioned point.
MeasureGrouping also relies on the actual music rhythmically matching
the beatStructure.

\new Staff \with { \consists "Measure_grouping_engraver" }
{
  \time 4/8
  a'2
}

Will print only one bracket.

To get two brackets a second voice could be inserted, easily:

\new Staff \with { \consists "Measure_grouping_engraver" }
<<
    { \time 4/8 a'2 }
    { s4 s }
>>

No bug I'd say, but likely worth explaining.

Though, why is the a first bracket printed, even if no music
rhythmically matches the beatStructure?
See 3rd measure of:

\new Staff \with { \consists "Measure_grouping_engraver" }
{
  \time 4/8
  a'4 4
  a'2*7/4 a'8
  |
}

That I can't explain.
Others?

Cheers,
Harm

Hi,

while playing with the Measure_grouping_engraver
see:
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/changing-symbols-used-by-Measure-grouping-engraver-td215283.html
I noticed ....

I tried to get MeasureGrouping in default 4/4-time, but nothing happened.
One has to set beatStructure and baseMoment accordingly. The current
docs make it sound it should work out of the box, though.

\version "2.19.82"

\new Staff \with { \consists "Measure_grouping_engraver" }
  {
      %% to get MeasureGrouping, next two lines need to be uncommented
    %\set Timing.beatStructure = 4,4
    %\set Score.baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1/8)
    \repeat unfold 8 a'8
  }
