That's not a beam but a phrasing slur, and at that point in the score, a
phrasing slur seems like an odd choice: it usually extends over whole
phrases rather than joining two notes.  You probably want a straight
slur, gotten with `(` and `)`.  A beam is a straight line substituting
for flags on a note stem and connecting several notes of length 1/8 or
shorter.
