Beamed stemlets

Hi guys,

I am having some trouble working out how to beam a stemlet to a rest in dorico.

Here is what iā€™m going for: Screenshot 2021-01-09 at 12.40.42

Thanks everyone :slight_smile:

  1. Select the rest
  2. Hit O to turn on Force Duration. This makes the rest explicit: a real object rather than automated padding.
  3. Now select the rest and the following note (Cmd/Ctrl-click or Shift-click or Shift-Right)
  4. Right-click or Edit > Beaming > Stemlets > Force Stemlet Beam.

Thank you very much!

Is there any way to have forced stemlet beams as a preference. I alway write that way and it is very time consuming doing it by hand after input every time.
It would be great to have this preference or at least a hack for this.

You should be able to use the appropriate setting in the Beams and Rests section of the Beam Grouping page of Notation Options to obtain stemlets by default. Or am I misunderstanding what you want?
