How can we break primary beams?


The two sextuplets should be connected by a primary beam, which is broken to avoid awkward position. I am only able to have their respective beams broken, which gives more beam lines than desired. How can I get a broken primary beam with one beam line?

I’m not quite sure I can visualise what you’re trying to achieve, but the beaming functions are under a right click, or Edit > Notations.

Thank you for your attention, but I fear there isn’t what I need :smiling_face_with_tear:

Do you want something like this?

Yes, but with the primary beam broken. Like this

The 32th notes are connected to the 8th note by one beam line rather than three

Tricky but something like this?
