Possible?

If you want that grouping, then you’ll have to set the metre to reflect that: [1.5+1.5]/4.

Or 6/8, of course, which is what it looks like. :grin:

Enter the time signature as [3]/4.

Thank you both.
[3]/4? I’ll have to look that up, but I’m guessing it means to group all 3 crotchets together as much as possible…

[3]/4 worked, thank you.

You can specify beat groupings in the time signatures popover, e.g.

Thanks for the link, Lillie, but [3]/4 still looks like a miracle here! :wink:

Note that [3]/4 also changes the rest grouping;
