Beeaming Bugs
Please see attachment. Please see measure 70. The beams will not work in the 2nd voice notes of the right ha when I click on" beam in the middle", which I used all the way through this piece. the first two beats of M. 70 should look just like they do in M 68. I could not even get M 68 to COPY after deleting the wrong stuff in M. 70. The sixteenths in M 70 should not be standing alone but be beamed together, etc. Ideally, much of this whole piece could have been written with just ONE beam of 16th notes, with RH stems down to join the beam and LH stems up to join the one beam, and without all the 16th rests in each clef, as you often see in piano writing. If anyone knows how to accomplish this feat with MS, please inform me. However, I would be happy to just get M 70 fixed. Thanks

Hi, Del!
I believe the problem was that the both 1/16th notes were marked as No Beams (the stand alone 1/8 note). I changed it to start beam and it attached to the 1/16th rest that follows. I changed the next 1/16th to middle beam and it looks like the other measures.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply-- I will check into this.

OK, i did that just as you said, and I get a 16th beam all right, but it is extended and slants downward1 Please see new attachment. M 70 Exastperating1

Select the 16th rest with the beam under it and make it no beam. The remaining beam will be what you want.

Hooray! OK, Got it to work. See ms 68 and 70m though it is correct, it doesn't look like some of the rest of the piece where the same siutation occurs.(The beams do not extend hrough the rests to the next 16th note!) If only I had known I could have put cross- beaming in the piece, but I don't want to have to redo everything at this point1 Please see 3rd attachment M 68 and 70.

When you say other places where there is a similar situation I guess you mean something like measures 34-36 where the slur looks attached to the last 16th note in m34. It looks that way because the 16th notes are high enough to cover the 8th rest in voice 1. If you select that measure and press ctrl-down arrow, you will see the 8th rest. You can use the undo button to put the notes back where they were. In m68, you can double click the slur and use the mouse to drag the box directly over that 16th note down closer to the note. Using ctrl-down arrow does something weird that you may not like.
You've set beaming for the first 16th chord there as no-beam, change that to start beam and then give the rest the option middle beam and you'll be good to go.
But if you want to use cross-staff notation, see the attached corrected m70 and the following handbook page: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/cross-staff-notation

Thanks for your Reply
M y orignall manuscript of this piece is written in cross-beam notation. I did search in the handbook, but must have missed the cross- beam part. I will study that today. However, now that I have the whole thing in the other notation, not sure I want to re enter the whole piece (mostly) that way. I have to perform this piece, Scene 2 of my Piano suite "Five Scenes of the American West", at a concert laetr this month, so I have to get it printed. Will be easier to read than my handwritten version!

I just did that, and it didn't work.
The last note , the Gb is in voice 1, put it in voice 2 like the others, and choose your beams like said above

I didn't include the 1/8th note because I figured he wanted it alone like the in the left hand.

Hi Mike,
You are right, I wanted the 8th note to stand alone. It's actually a pickup note for what follows it. Del
