The safest way it to use explicit beaming with "[", "]" and "][" e.g.
m3434
[ c8 c ] [ c c ] [ c c ] |
% which may be equivalent to
c8 c [ c c ] c c |
% And "][" can increase readability
[ c3 c c c ][ c c c c ] c4 c /

PS: In the early days of PMX there was a PMX-external pattern,
which could be modified to influence beaming. IIRC this
was proposed to Don by a non-musician who is mentioned
at the end of the PMX-documentation.
