Here is an example code which just produces a beatiful engraving example:

\score {
    \context Staff=i { \simultaneous {
        \new Voice \notes {
            \property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(1 . 3)
            c'8[ e' c' e']
            \property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(3 . 1)
            c'8[ e' c' e']
        }
        \new Voice \notes {
            \property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(1 . 2)
            c'8[ e' c' e']
            \property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(2 . 1)
            c'8[ e' c' e']
        }
        \new Voice \notes {
            \property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(1 . 1)
            c'8[ e' c' e']
            \property Voice.Beam \override #'positions = #'(1 . 1)
            c'8[ e' c' e']
        }
    } }
    \paper {  }
}

It is that simple!
