Gould talks about this kind of issue, of course (pg. 165, etc.), but not
surprisingly doesn’t give your precise example. If I read all of her examples
correctly, one example she *does* give (with values double of yours) taken
together with another example on the previous page implies that your third
attachment (with the number of beams given according to the note value) seems
correct.
One further way to clarify the beat structure — which is always of principle
concern — would be stemlets (which Gould also discusses in great detail, and
recommends in many situations).
Personally, of the four attachments you included, I prefer the third; depending
on how complex the music is around this excerpt, I might futher prefer the
stemlet version.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
