I don't know if this has been mentioned before: if you want
to hold a 2x plate/tile in place (particularly a vertical 2x1),
a second row above the center-hole-beams with half-pegs is

is to put a side-peg-1x1 on its back under the
1x1 technic beam, with the top stud facing the same way as
the half-peg. Apart from the bottom edge of the side-stud-1x1
sticking out in the back, this represents a 1x1x1.6 with evenly
spaced studs on the side, and stackable, too.
