Group of notes
Hello!
I'm new here and I don't know if someone has already asked this question but, ...
How can I regroup a few notes in a way that the reader (player) will play the notes with a different accent?
Example: I have a 6/8 measure with two groups of three 8th notes. How can I put it into three groups of two 8th notes without changing the time signature?
Thank you so much!!

Welcome.

http://musescore.org/en/handbook/beam sees to explain how to group beams one by one. But when I'm entering a particular score in 6/8 time, I would like all measures to default to 3-3 grouping of quarter notes, not 2-2-2.
Is there a better way to set this preference. One would think that you'd be able to set this preference by inspecting the time signature?
Do I really need to edit the beam properties of 100s of notes?
Thanks.

3-3 is the default grouping in 6/8 time for MuseScore 1.3.
This suggests there is something strange about your score?
Definition of beaming groups is coming in MuseScore 2 I think.

I think this will be possible in the next version of MuseScore

Note that while the new experimental-development-build-only facility for settings defaults may not be completely working yet, you can always set keyboard shortcuts for the start & middle beam commands, making it very easy to control the beaming on the fly as you enter your notes.
