Something wrong with the notation?

• Feb 27, 2017 - 03:03

If you look at the image, you'll see the problem I'm talking about. The 8th notes are grouped in 3 at the end of the measure, but I only want them to be grouped in notes of 2. How can I fix this?

But it would also be helpful to attach the actual score, not just a picture, in order to understand what is happening. Depending on what the time signature is and how the beam properties were configured (by you? or was this a default time signature?) this could be more correct than what you want to change it to. Or maybe you would be better off chnging the beam properties for the time signature.

I mention this because the real problem as I see it is the quarter note - if this were standard 4/4, then that should not be notated that way. In 4/4, a quarter note can not normally start on beat 2+. You would need an eighth note on 2+ tied to an eighth note on 3, and the latter would then be beamed with the following eighth notes (all four beamed together). but maybe you are dealing with some sort of non-standard time signature?
