Switches

This section allows you to make beam settings.

Flat Beams

Activate this when you want the beams over notes to be flat (as opposed to slanted).

No Beams

Activate this when you do not want any beaming at all on the staff (for example for vocal scoring).

Beam Subgroups

Use this when you want sixteenth notes displayed under a beam to be divided into groups of four notes.

Figure: Without and with Beam Subgroups.

16th Subgroups

Use this when you want even smaller subgroups of sixteenth notes. This setting has no effect if Beam Subgroups is deactivated.

Figure: As above, but with 16th Subgroups activated.
