I found some related ugliness. If the spacers are changed to rests, the problem goes away.
<< { c'4 s2. c'4 s2. c'8 s2.. c'16 s2... } { R1*4 } >> Using transparent rests won't work for me because I need a beam extending over the whole top staff, like so: { c'8[ s2.. c'8 s2.. c'8] s2.. } A rest breaks the beam and a spacer breaks the spacing, so I'm stuck.
