GROUPS OF EIGHTH NOTES IN THE SAME BAR WITH BEAMS ACROSS EACH PAIR, NOT ONE SINGLE BEAM

David_Hastie

How do I group separate groups of eighth notes in the same bar with a beam across each pair and not across all groups. Thank you.

Hello, and the only way to split eight notes into pairs is by changing the tempo on the bar. For example, if you use 4/4 then all 8th notes will be grouped in 4 notes, while if you used 2/4 the 8th notes will be grouped in pairs.

Can this not be achieved by entering all the notes as normal (beamed into groups of 4), then selecting the THIRD note and right clicking for the context menu, select "Beams" and "Break Primary Beam", that gives me two beamed pairs - reconnecting them is more fun!

I can confirm that this works. In my case I wanted a group of three eighth notes separated into a single and a beamed pair. Trying to break from the first note in the group doesn't work, but you can right click on the second note (or the note after the place that you want the break to be) then Beams, then Break Primary Beam.
