Irregular grouping of notes in a measure of 9/8 (2+3+2+2)
I am having trouble with the grouping of the notes in a measure of 9/8. Specifically, I would like to notate music that is grouped as 2+3+2+2 but the program does not let me do that. Instead, it groups them in three groups of 3/8 (3+3+3) which is completely different than the feel of the Greek dance I am transcribing. Can you please help me how to solve this problem? Thanking you in advance.

You can change the beaming for a particular measure. See Beam .
However there is currently no way in Musescore 1.3 to specify beaming rules for the whole score.
In reply to You can change the beaming by [DELETED] 5
Is it possible to do this in the nightly builds?
The case that I have is when entering a score in 6/8 time, I want the default grouping to be 3-3, not 2-2-2.

Yes, the nightlies should be able to do this

I've attached an image of the beam grouping properties. Despite these properties which seem to imply it will use 3-3 grouping, it still insists on using 2-2-2 grouping.
I'm also attaching the score.

You are trying to use the new 2.0 feature, not the method described under Beam mentioned in a reply above. That method - breaking and joining beams individually - always work. The new feature where you can specify *default* beam groupings works "sometimes". I haven't worked out when it does and when it doesn't.
