Beaming (Speedy Entry)

Beaming of eighth notes (and notes of smaller value) is automatic in PrintMusic, although you can override PrintMusic’s beaming decisions, either on a global or case-by-case basis.

To break (or create) a beam

• Click the Speedy Entry tool   and click the measure in question. The editing frame appears. Use the arrow keys to position the insertion bar on the note at the end of the desired beam.
• Press the slash key (/) or B. If the note was beamed to the previous note, the beam breaks. If the note wasn’t beamed to the previous note, two notes are now beamed together. Press the slash or B key again to restore the beam to its previous form.
