Aaron Hill,

Thank you for your continued interest in my request.
I finally came to the "non-breaking beams" cause with a "well-dah" moment.

That is because Beams are not breakable by default.  You can change
that:

%%%%
\version "2.19.83"
\paper { indent = #0 ragged-right = ##t }

break-beams = \override Beam.breakable = ##t

{ b'2.. \once \break-beams 8[ | \break 8] 2.. } %%%%
