The prelude to bach's cello suite no.1 has something like that I
believe (http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=517).
Is this what you're looking for?

\new Score \relative c
{
  \clef bass
  <<
    {
      \once \override Beam #'positions = #'(2.5 . 2.5)
      a8[ s a] s
    }
    \\
    {
      s8
      \once \override Beam #'positions = #'(-3 . -3)
      f'[ s f]
    }
  >>
}
