Hi Andrew,

I've a hard time understanding what the composer wants to tell me (the
probable performer) at this point. For me it looks the dis has two
different duration-indications at the same stem: two beams at top and three
more below.

The only way to make sense of it would to assume a polyphonic situation.
This idea came me after 10 minutes of thinking about it...
Now I give up, obviously I'm not the man for such things, at the end of a
hard weeks work.

Sorry to say, I usually throw away scores where the composer obfuscates
things.

Nevertheless, a hint (no idea whether it will be really helpful):

{
    b'16^[
    \once \override Stem.beaming = #(cons (list 0  1) (list 0))
    g''16
    \once \override Stem.beaming = #(cons (list 0  1) (list 3 4 5))
    dis'16
    fis''32]
}



Cheers,
  Harm
