Changing the number of beam lines in secondary beams

You can change the number of beam lines shown in secondary beams individually.

Procedure

Select the notes to the right of where you want to change the number of secondary beaming lines.
Optional: If any of the notes you selected do not immediately follow existing splits in the secondary beam, split the secondary beams in any of the following ways:
- In the Properties panel, activate Split secondary beam in the Beaming group.
  
  Note
  The Beaming group is only shown in the Properties panel if your selection only contains notes.
- Choose Edit > Beaming > Split Secondary Beam. You can also choose this option from the context menu.
In the Properties panel, select the note value that corresponds to the number of beam lines you want shown from the Split secondary beam menu.

Result

The number of beam lines shown immediately to the left of each selected note is changed.

Note

The number of beam lines shown at a split in the secondary beam cannot be the same or greater than the number of beam lines in the secondary beam. For example, if you split a secondary beam containing 64th notes, the maximum number of beam lines shown at the split in that beam is three, the equivalent of 32nd notes.
