ah, i see. Sounds sensible. Now what about this example?

-------
|   --|
|     |
o     o

not 100% clear how it would it be notated, but something like
c8[[ c16]]
would work

hm.. a possible definition then:

- Each note can not have both ]:s and [:s. 
- the []:s must form a balanced parenthesis expression, otherwise an error 
message will be thrown.
- special case, [] at depth 1 starts and ends beams.
- initially, stem*BeamCount of each note is set to the maximal value, e.g. 3 
for 32th notes.
- if a [ is at depth n in the par. expr., and the note it belongs to has 
stemLeftBeamCount >= n, then it is changed to n-1. Similar for ].

sounds good?
