Of course, I was thinking of the brackets as grouping the notes, not 
beaming them. Anyway, when I remove the brackets, the resulting music is 
printed with the -3- undernote-grouper-thing showing the notes grouped 
as [1/4rest-1/4note](with a number 3under the group) then a single 
1/4note (with a #3 under it) then [1/4rest-1/4note](with a #3 under 
those two notes) then a single 1/4note(with a #3 under it). They should 
of course be grouped [1/4rest-1/4note-1/4note] [1/4note-1/4note-1/4note]
