The accompaniment's first measure contained a measure of 4 16th note groups in Common time. All the measures thereafter used the shortcut of 2 halfnote noteheads occurring twice, of course, beamed with 16th (or 32nd, I can't remember) beams. ... How does one come up with the shortcut notation in such a case?

Well, one way to do this is to put in the two half notes on the appropriate pitches, and define one (or more, if neceesary) smart shape line to the appriate width(s), and us the smart shape lines to create the beaming. I found this to be quite a pleasing method, as the lines were note attached, and stretched, or contracted if the notes were moved.
