Hi everyone:

  Just FYI, Read says on p.188 of his book :

  "If the time unit is a quarter note (as in 5/4, 4/4, or 3/4), then an 
irregular group of 11 notes occupying three beats (equivalent to six 
eighth-notes) would be beamed as eighth notes. In the same measure [i.e. 
meter], an irregular group of 13 notes would be beamed as sixteenth notes."

Best,
