Resetting beam grouping

You can remove all changes made to the beam grouping of notes and chords. This can also be

useful if, for example, MusicXML

les you have imported have incorrect beaming.

PROCEDURE

1. Select the notes/chords whose beaming you want to reset.

Choose Edit > Beaming > Reset Beaming. You can also choose this option from the context

menu.

RESULT

Beam grouping is reset to the default settings.

Beaming notes together manually

You can beam notes together manually, including notes across barlines as well as system/frame

breaks, for example, if you want to beam a phrase differently to how it is usually beamed in the

current time signature.

Beams by default stay within bars and systems, so to have beams cross barlines, system breaks,

and frame breaks, you must force the phrase to beam together.

PROCEDURE

1. Select the notes you want to beam together.

2. Choose Edit > Beaming > Beam Together. You can also choose this option from the context

menu.

RESULT

The selected notes are beamed together, even if they cross barlines or system/frame breaks.

If there are notes either side of the new beam group that were previously beamed to part or

all of your selection, they either beam together as separate beams, or appear unbeamed.

This

depends on how many notes are left either side in the bar.

NOTE

Even if part of the beamed group previously had a centered beam, the new beam is not centered.
