Local split beam/ Beam Together

Hello,

I was under the impression that changing the beaming locally in one layout was possible previously (but maybe it never was). I want to beam the parts diffrent from the score. For the score it’s sometimes useful to the conductor to see the structure of a repeating pattern (beams across barlines etc.) but for the player, that beaming can be confusing.

Here the composer wants to have the pattern beamed this way in the score :

However for the parts I recommened using the traditional beam-grouping to help the player :

The issue is that setting the local properties to local before making the changes, doesn’t do anything, and any changes I make in the part get automatically propagated to the score.

(meaning the beam/unbeam aren’t currently local properties)

It would be useful to have this possibility, instead of having to make a separate file for the parts.

Thank you,

JM

You’re right, there seems to be an unbreakable link between parts and full score as far as beaming is concerned…
