MS3 bad beaming - bug? (or user error!?)
MS 3.0 I cannot get the beaming right in a bar.
I'm talking about the final beat RH where the beaming should be same as first beat.
I cannot spot any particular cause. The score is here in draft

Yes, I didn't look for it last night my time. It was reported in #16278: Beaming notes over barlines and line breaks way back in 2012. I guess the bug is very difficult to fix.
