Method:

2) bar 4, bass clef - enter 2 quavers, bass clef,
3) bar 4 - move second quaver up to treble clef
4) bar 3 - add page break after
5) bar 2, bass clef - select rest in bass clef and convert to triplet

Result: beam in bar 4 vanishes

Frequency Once Many

Changing this issue from Once to Many, because the problem has also been seen on other scores by several reviewers of Lieder Corpus songs. Examples: @DanielR, @ashmoggs.

Workaround No Yes

Boulton Harold - 12 New Songs No.7 - A Song of the South.mscz This happens whenever cross-staff notation occurs in the first bar of a page.
1. In the example, any alteration/editing of bars 40 - 41result in the beam disappearing in bar 42. It is restored when any alteration is made in bar 42.
2. If the beam is split at the point of crossing to the upper staff, the phenomenon does not occur.
3. After much experimentation I have failed to reproduce this in any bars other than the first bar on a page. eg bars 44 and 45 remain constant.
