Re: strange detached beam issue

[William Rehwinkel via LilyPond user discussion]

It should be noted that on 2.25.7 this doesn't happen on my machine, and the beam renders correctly (after running convert-ly on your snippet, it didn't change anything).

I have a section of piano music where two voices start in the treble clef and 
subsequently move down into the bass clef. When the right hand moves down, the 
beam stays in the treble clef unattached to anything:



When I try to isolate this section, the problem does not occur. I am mystified 
as to what is going on. What might be some things I could try?

   }
   \new PianoStaff {

     \new Staff = "lower" \lower
