Hi Karim,

there's no bug here: when you type

\once \override Beam #'positions = #'(-6 . -6)
r8[ bih16 bih16]

the beam is created immediately, but when you type

\once \override Beam #'positions = #'(-6 . -6)
r8  bih16 bih16

the \override is followed by a rest, so no beam is immediately created.

In the latter case, the solution is to type

r8
\once \override Beam #'positions = #'(-6 . -6)
bih16 bih16

Remember what Mats said: \once \override only works for an object that
is created *immediately* afterwards!

Cheers,
Valentin
