+When automatic beaming is enabled, the placement of automatic beams
+is determined by three context properties:
+@code{baseMoment}, @code{beatStructure}, and @code{beamExceptions}.
+If a @code{beamExceptions} rule is defined for the time signature in
+force, that rule is used to determine the beam placement. If no
+@code{beamExceptions} rule is defined for the time signature in force,
+the beam placement is determined by the settings of @code{baseMoment}
+and @code{beatStructure}.
+
+By default, @code{beamExceptions} rules are defined for most common
+time signatures, so the @code{beamException} rules must be disabled
+if automatic beaming is to be based on @code{baseMoment} and
+@code{beatStructure}. The @code{beamExceptions} rules are disabled
+by
+
+@example
+\set Timing.beamExceptions = #'()
