Do you want the first 16th note alone and the second 16th note  
attached with a beam to the quarter note?  That can't happen because  
quarter notes are not beamed.  From your example, it looks like what  
you want is a slur rather than a beam.  If you want the 16th note  
slurred to the quarter note, try:

\times 2/3 { f16 e16( c4) }

Hope this helps.
