The short answer: TGTools!
The longer answer: Enter your g and d as 32nd notes, beamed together.
Using the tuplet tool, define these two notes as a tuplet which takes
up 1 16th in the space of 1 half. Use the note shape tool (in Special
Tools) to change the noteheads to half-note noteheads (slot 250).
Select the beam extension tool (in Special Tools) and double-click
the handle on your g or d; specify that you want to extend the 16th
and 32nd beams (but not 8th). Move the handles to shorten the inner
beams while leaving the outer beam connected. (Or leave all three
beams connected, as you prefer.)
Aaron.
