That has struck me as odd for a long time, I discovered it through a typo some while ago but decided maybe it was a feature and not a bug given there is a working solution. Is there an actual use case scenario for a teed note? Or is that a useless artifact notationally? -Shane
It gets even weirder. If one writes: "a8[ <>] b" in order to avoid having empty brackets then the two notes get beamed.
But it is documented as a "don't do it", so no substantive problem, just slightly unintuitive.

I know that I can use \noBeam, but I only discovered that when my first attempt failed. Here is my MWE, and the output PDF is attached. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \version "2.24.3" \header { title = "" } global = { \time 4/4 \key c \major \tempo 4=100 } melody = \relative c'' { \global a8[] b c d[] e[ f] g[ a] } \score { << \new Staff { \melody } >> \layout { } } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
