It might support it but in my experience the default knee-gap value is quite large, if you remove the manual commands from my example the result comes out as follows: [image: image.png]
It might be worth it to change the default gap to a lower value if you want (either as a \once \override or as a \layout setting). Kneed beams are in any case a rarity and except for something simple like my example you'll probably need to adjust the beam angle manually (I know from having tried it in other contexts).
