It's standard to connect the groups of four 32nd notes with one beam. You can check this out in editions of virtuoso piano music by such composers as Liszt, Ravel, Debussy...

Hi all,

I've got some passages in 2/4 with running 32nd notes, and I want to break the secondary beams to make things a little clearer. For each beat, should the two groups of 4 32nd notes be connected by one beam or two? I'm not sure what usual practice is here.

(One beam looks clearer to me; two beams makes me think that each group has the value of a sixteenth note rather than an eighth note.)
