Hi Adam,

Same answer as for glissandi ...

 \override Beam #'breakable = ##t

... somewhere in the score will fix this.

In general, any grob subcribing to the breakable (?) interface in the
2.11 program reference will need #'breakable = ##t to break across
lines.

(The 2.11 program reference appears to be down at the moment; when
it's up you can see examples of this in, for example, the entry for
the Beam and Glissando grobs.)

If you have Tuplets crossing barlines or line breaks, do the same
thing there, too.
