Please see the two Screen Shots Below. I can send partial Dorico file if it helps. Notice Tpt. 2 and 3 staff in m. 64. When I turn on condensing the beaming is wrong. The trouble is when I turn condensing off and view the two lines as separate staves, the beaming is correct in both Tpt. 2 and 3. I can’t choose the 3rd note in that measure to bring up the contextual menu and split the beam with condensing turn on and don’t know how to change the beam with it turned off because it is correct.
Any advice welcomed.
First of all, to reduce the amount of manual beam splitting that you need to do, change the flow’s default beaming in Library > Notation Options > Beam Grouping.
Secondly, you can split beams in Engrave mode.
Lillie,
The beaming settings that I have in Notation Options>Beam Grouping seem to be fine as is. It’s just that one measure in the whole piece and when I am in Engrave Mode and select the third note in that measure it highlights fine but when I right-click to bring up the contextual menu and select “split beam” it has no effect. I will attach a Dorico file with that portion of the piece included. Maybe you can figure it out and then be kind enough to tell me how you did it because the same issue occurs later in the piece on the recap.

Hi @ghfagan51
You have some forced beaming going on (that strangely only manifest itself when condensing is on).
To correct this:
Go in galley view, bar 52, select first bar of tr. 2 and tr.3 (with Command+click), from menu Edit, choose Select till end of flow, when both tr. are selected till end of flow, right click > beaming > Reset Beaming. Your beaming will return to visualise as expected.
