Beaming
A beam is a line that connects notes with tails to show rhythmic grouping, which varies according to the metrical structure of the prevailing time signature.
Beam placement relative to the staff
The default staff-relative placement of beams is determined by the staff positions of the notes within the beamed group and their resulting stem directions.
Removing beam placement changes
You can undo changes to the staff-relative placement of beams in order to remove the stem direction change. This reverts selected beams to their default placement.
