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.
Stemlets
Stemlets are short stems that extend from beams to rests within beam groups. They can help make music easier to read, as they help to maintain a regular pattern of stems within beams.
Removing stemlets from beam groups
You can remove stemlets from rests in beam groups individually, independently of your default setting for showing stemlets in the current flow.

Removing stemlets from beam groups

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

Prerequisite

If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Select at least one note in each of the beam groups from which you want to remove stemlets on rests. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
Choose Edit > Beaming > Stemlets > Suppress Stemlet Beam. You can also choose this option from the context menu.

Stemlets are removed from all rests in the selected beams.

Note

Removing stemlets from beams does not reset the selected beams to your default beam grouping for the flow.
You can choose not to show stemlets on rests in all beam groups in each flow on the Beam Grouping page in Write > Notation Options.
