Hi all:
If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, so it is beamed in quarter divisions and not with the eighth note in the middle, I’d really appreciate it. I’ve fooled around with all the beaming options in Notation Settings to no avail. I’m in 4/4.
Thanks so much!
That did the trick! Thanks so much!!!
This particular setting really annoys me as I’m pretty sure there’s no way to consistently get what I actually want. There’s always a Force Duration required one way or another. Here’s a gif where I switch between these 2 settings:
What I really want is this:
Does anyone have settings that can get this ^^^ result?
I was thinking the same thing. This setting (like others in Notation options) would really benefit from the possibility to differentiate based on note values. Beaming or grouping settings often can’t just be generically slapped on an entire piece no matter the context.
Wow! I didn’t think about that unintended consequence. This really needs to be addressed as what you show, I’m sure, is the most common way to express these rhythms.
So I looked a little further into this. See my screenshot of the piano part, then see the screenshot of the Notation Settings where it looks like the 3rd option gets cancelled out by the first(?). If that wasn’t the case, this would probably work correctly…
Would be wonderful if the team could fix this. Currently, force duration is the only thing that seems to work to fix the first bar.
Unfortunately no joy with global setting for this (common) situation. The workaround that you surely know, without the need of Force Duration, is to use hidden local time signatures (2+2/4 for the quarter syncopation bars, and normal 4/4, that defaults to 1+1+1+1/4, for the 16th syncopation bars). The global Notation Option needed for this to work is Notation of short-long-short patterns: > Split at beat boundaries (in the video I erroneously said that I used default/factory options):
Thanks so much for digging into this, Christian.
Cheers!!
