Showing stemlets in beam groups

You can show stemlets on rests in beam groups individually, independently of your default setting for showing stemlets in the current flow.

Procedure

  1. Select the notes you want to beam together with stemlets shown on rests.

    For example, to show a stemlet on a rest between two notes, select both notes. To show a stemlet on a rest at the end of a beamed phrase, select all notes in the beam and the rest.

  2. Choose Edit > Beaming > Stemlets > Force Stemlet Beam. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

Result

The selected notes are beamed together with stemlets shown on rests within the beam group.

Note

  • If you later reset the beaming of the selected group, stemlets revert to your default setting for the flow.

  • You can choose to show stemlets on rests in all beamed groups in each flow on the Beam Grouping page in Write > Notation Options.
