time signature, beam problems

• Nov 14, 2018 - 12:23

Hello again,

Having the option to group as we want (with "also change shorter notes option" bonus) is great since 2.0. I wanted to mention two things about this though. One is like bug, the other is a feature request.

  1. As you see in the picture, there is time signature as 10/16. The beams of 16th notes conflicts with 8th if you look closely. The time signature I create according to this picture, does not operate. The reason is the conflict of 8th notes obviously.

  2. In bigger/longer time signatures the screen may not be enough to arrange beams. Making the window wider is not enough sometimes. I use two monitors side by side, that's how I achieve to do what I want :) But at home I don't have that chance :) Visual beam arrangement is great, but I'd love to be able to write numbers for beaming.

Thanks a lot.

Indeed, the picture looks correct as far as I can tell. If you were expecting beams instead of flags, we would need you to attach your actual score, not just a picture of it, in order to understand and assist better.

Sometimes it is really hard to write these kind of cycles' beam properties, it doesn't fit the screen.

Based on your attached picture (indir.png) it is true that for a 32/4 time signature, beaming note groups can become unwieldy for 16th and 32nd notes:

So...
Have you considered something like this:

Thank you for suggestion. I got your point but my concern is not only to write the rhytmic cycle, we have compositions based/build on these cycles. So the beams of notes should be parallel to the cycle. Changing metronome and time signature does not really help :)
