Hi!

That's because you use a  << { ... } \\ { ... } >>  construct.
Voices within that construct are different from voices outside this
construct and then your  \autoBeamOff  does not apply to your "left UP"
voice.

1. You could replace your  \autoBeamOff  by
    \set Staff.autoBeaming = ##f : this would apply the "non automatic
   beaming" to the  Staff  context.

Cheers,
Xavier
