A minimal would be:

\paper { indent = 0 ragged-right = ##t }

{
    \override Beam.breakable = ##t
    s2. s8
    c'8[
    \break
    c'16]
}

I do not quite understand what to do with this.

What I now have (in the light of your previous email) amounts to:

{
        s2 s4..
        \once \override Beam.breakable = ##t
        \scaleDurations 6/4 { 
                << bf8[( { s1*1/24 \bar"" \break s1*1/12 } >>
                             a16]) r }
}

This gives the unsatisfactorily long second beam on the a16 note.
Does your minimal example provide a way of correcting this, and if so,
how should my code be altered?
