 2.1.6 Automatic and manual beams
 --------------------------------
 
 Music Glossary: (music-glossary)beam.
 
    All beams are drawn automatically:
 
      a8 ais d ees r d c16 b a8
      [image src="" alt="[image of music]" text="image of music"]
 
    If you do not like the automatic beams, they may be overridden
 manually.  To correct just an occasional beam mark the first note to be
 beamed with ‘[’ and the last one with ‘]’.
 
      a8[ ais] d[ ees r d] c16 b a8
      [image src="" alt="[image of music]" text="image of music"]
 
    If you want to turn off automatic beaming entirely or for an extended
 section of music, use the command ‘\autoBeamOff’ to turn off automatic
 beaming and ‘\autoBeamOn’ to turn it on again.
 
      \autoBeamOff
      a8 c b4 d8. c16 b4 |
      \autoBeamOn
      a8 c b4 d8. c16 b4 |
      [image src="" alt="[image of music]" text="image of music"]
