OK, thanks.

Well, this beam notation is not my invention but rather found in
existing scores. The specific subdivision was taken from Henle's
Urtext version of Händel's violin sonata in g minor HWV 368, bar 2.

I guess the very reason for using this kind of subdivision is to make
it resemble the first edition's incorrect beaming as much as possible
(see attached image).

Sounds very promising! I'm waiting for your Merge Request :-)
