Unusual beaming for piano music

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi All,

 

I have an unusual beaming situation in the piano work I am setting. The composer I work with is fussy (very) about his visual gestures in notation and it is incumbent on me to reproduce the beaming seen in the attached image. The issue I am having difficulty with is where the beam for the spanned group goes from up to down with no break – at the point where the “treble^8” clef is introduced. Are there any smart solutions to such a situation?

 

I can ask to have this notated differently, but it would go against various large scale structural patterns in the music. [Yes, we know it does not follow engraving rules 😊]  So a technical lilypond solution would be great.

 

Andrew
