-@subsubsubheading Beaming based on @code{baseMoment} and @code{beatStructure}
-
-In most instances, automatic beams will end at the end of a beat.
-The ending points for beats are determined by the context properties
-@code{baseMoment} and @code{beatStructure}. @code{beatStructure}
-is a scheme list that defines the length of each beat in the measure
-in units of @code{baseMoment}. By default, @code{baseMoment} is
-one over the denominator of the time signature. By default,
-each unit of length @code{baseMoment} is a single beat.
+When @code{beamExceptions} is set to @code{#'()}, either due to an
+explicit setting or because no @code{beamExceptions} rules are defined
+internally for the time signature in force, the ending points for
+beams are on beats as specified by the context properties
+@code{baseMoment} and @code{beatStructure}. @code{beatStructure} is
+a scheme list that defines the length of each beat in the measure in
+units of @code{baseMoment}. By default, @code{baseMoment} is one
+over the denominator of the time signature. By default, each unit of
+length @code{baseMoment} is a single beat.
