LilyPond inserts beams automatically
\time 2/4 c8 c c c \time 6/8 c c c c8. c16 c8
When these automatic decisions are not good enough, beaming can be entered explicitly. It is also possible to define beaming patterns that differ from the defaults. See Setting automatic beam behavior for details.
Individual notes may be marked with \noBeam to prevent them
from being beamed
