Can't assign sixteenth note beam

[theloni0us]

I'm not sure if this should be a bug report or a feature request or simply that I'm missing something...
I'm having a problem when transcribing a measure with an eight-note rest and two beamed sixteenth-notes:

As you see, the beams are not recognized. I tried to assign them manually, but I don't see that could be possible, since both are selected simultaneously:

In Glyphs→Assign there's a menu entry called BeamsEtc [sic!], but it's only possible to assign an eight-note beam.
What can I do in this situation?

As you can see in the Shape palettes, "BeamsEtc" refers to Beams + Tremolos + Tuplets, hence the "Etc..." suffix.

Now, there is no such shape as a "Double Beam", therefore you cannot assign a suitable shape to your 2-beam glyph.

What you can do instead, is to drag & drop a beam from the shape palette down to the location of the upper beam. Then you can enter the edit mode (for example via a double click on the inserted Inter beam) to adjust the beam to the underlying glyph, until the beam connects with the stems on left and right sides.
See the Beam editor for details.

Then do the same for the lower beam.

Wow, you won't believe this, but I wasn't aware that you can do that... I thought the only option was to select and then assign. I guess I should read the manual more carefully...

This solves my problem, thank you. The part about editing glyphs I already knew.

Thanks for your help.

Yes you should! :-)
