As a collector of sheet music, I can say that this way linking two sets
of double beams with a single beam is a 19th century engraving
habit. You'd better write two *independent* sets of *three*
semiquavers, unless you want to mimic old editions.
Moreover, such sets of *six* notes make it more difficult to
find a nice beam positionning (height and slope).
Re-moreover, Z-like beams, i.e. beams with notes with upper
stems *and* lower stems is also old-fashionned. Nowadays, you
would write a \ccl followed by a two-note beam.
BTW, is the British musical terminology more welcome than the
US one, in this list ? IMHO US terminology has the advantage
of beeing a "clone" of the German one.
