Regular grouping of a number of eighth notes or smaller (“Beam”)

If the grouping the program assigns is not the one you want, you can put any selection of eighth notes or smaller under a beam:

1. Select at least two notes, where you want the beam to begin and end.

   All notes between these two notes are grouped under a beam.

2. Click the Group Notes icon on the extended toolbar or right-click on one of the notes to be grouped and select “Beam” from the “Group/Ungroup” submenu of the context menu.

   Double-clicking on the “Grouping” text opens the Grouping dialog, allowing you to adjust the “note value” for the symbols.
