hello Irenicus, You can get A LOT of beaming flexibility with the \set stemRightBeamCount and \set stemLeftBeamCount commands: See 1.2.4.3 Manual Beams in the docs: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Manual-beams#Manual-beams
The example below does exactly what (I think) you want.
See attached image.
%%%%% BEGIN EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%
\version "2.11.33"
\new Score{
\new Voice {
\time 6/8
c'16[
c'8
\set stemRightBeamCount = #2
\set stemLeftBeamCount = #1
c'16
\set stemLeftBeamCount = #2
c'16
c'16]
c'4.
}
}
%%%%% END EXAMPLE %%%%%%%%
