Hi David,

all I can offer is a more than ugly work-around:

\version "2.16.0"

\relative {
        <<{ d16*1*4[ e16] \override Staff.Rest #'staff-position = #-2 r16 r8 }
        \\
        {  s8 \override Staff.Rest #'staff-position = #-4 r16 r8 }>>
        c2
}

Well, you could try to override Beam-stencil, constructing a new one,
but this is too much work. I don't think it's woth to.
I hope someone comes up with a better solution.

Regards,
