Per-flow notation options for beam grouping

You can find options to control the default beam grouping rules in each flow independently on the Beam Grouping page in Write > Notation Options.

Dorico Pro has sophisticated underlying rules for producing beam groupings that follow the accepted conventions of music theory, including crossing the half-bar in time signatures like 4/4, beaming all eighth notes together in 3/4, beam groups that include tuplets, and many other situations.

There are alternative conventions for some of these rules, which you can change for each flow in your project independently on the Beam Grouping page in Notation Options. The available options also include how to handle secondary beam groups, stemlets, and beams over rests.

Musical examples demonstrate how each option affects the appearance of your music.
