Global settings

In the Score Settings dialog, on the Project page (Notation Style subpage), you can find the following three options for beam appearance in the Beams category:

• Thick Beams.

  Activate this if you want beams to be displayed as thick lines.

• Show Small Slants as Flat Beams.

  If this option is activated, beams that would be only slightly slanted are displayed flat.

• Slanted Beams only Slightly Slanted.

  Activate this if you only want a slightly slanted beam even though there might be a significant pitch difference between the notes under the beam.
