Beams with subs don't continue over barlines
Tried a search but could not find this issue being discussed. If it has been reported than please disregard. If you have sixteenth notes or 32nd notes under a single beam across several measures before a system break the beam can be continuous across all measures. Within a measure you can start a section with a 16th or 32nd sub to group sections of notes. If you start a new sub at the first note of a measure, the beam breaks and does not continue across from the previous measure. Not sure if by design or a problem. So as lone as none of the subsections starts on the initial notes of a measure, the beamed notes broken into multiple subs will continue be connected by a single beam. Version 3.5.2.

Interesting. I'd be curious to know if this is a recent development or a long time result. Perhaps @cadiz1 can do a search to see if it's always been in version 3. I've never seen this discussed before, perhaps because it's a rare notation or it's a recent bug.

This seems to be a different issue. This issue is that you can put a Beam middle between measures but you cannot put a Beam 16th sub or Beam 32nd sub across the same bar line. I didn't even try it across a system break because of the bug you mentioned. If it's mentioned in that bug report it's sometime after mid 2017 (the 5th year) and isn't the same problem.

I'd be really surprised if this has changed any time in the past few years.
The algorithm for deciding on sub-beams depends on the actual beat position within the measure, not relative position within the beam.

I would only be surprised that I don't remember ever hearing of this if it's been a problem since #16278: Beaming notes over barlines and line breaks was created.
