Beaming
A beam is a line that connects notes with tails to show rhythmic grouping, which varies according to the metrical structure of the current time signature.
Beaming notes together manually
You can beam notes together manually, including notes across barlines as well as system/frame breaks, for example, if you want to beam a phrase differently to how it is usually beamed in the current time signature.
Unbeaming notes
You can separate all notes in a beamed group so that each note shows its own tail, for example, when fast rhythms have syllabic text settings.
