It’s probably a matter of terminology keeping from finding what I need, but I have a pair of eighth notes that share a beam, but they’re being split across lines in the system. Is there a way to keep these together?
Erm? Quarter notes do not have beams…
Edited to say eighth notes
You have probably allowed open bars to be split across systems (Layout Options> Staves and Systems>Casting Off…) - but it is unclear from this fragment.
What’s happening is, without barlines, Dorico breaks the system at however many notes will fit. If you change any of the following things, it will break differently:
- note spacing rule
- space size
- left/right margins
- appearance of staff labels
or, recommended: - manual system break
