Hi,

You want to show a gap in the groupings, right? One thing you could
do, if the eighths continue into the next bar is to beam them in
their respective groups of 3 and disregard the barlines, so that some
beams actually cross the barline. The trouble is that visually it
does look like triplets at first.

Where is the single note? The first of the 4 or the last?
