Unbeam different approaches

Dorico
1

Good evening. When I first set Dorico I made a keycommand for unbeaming and it worked following. Pressing a note and than pressing the shortcut, it broke the beam above the current note and the previous one, so that, the next note to the selected remained beamed.

My laptop died a week ago and now I’m tailoring the program again, and after I set the letter command ‘unbeam’ the selected note is unbeamed both to the previous and the next note.

Could you help me please. Is there a different opportunity to make unbeam command?

That is the correct function of make unbeamed. Perhaps your old command was split beam?

In my (desktop) still Dorico version 4 installation I have set shortcut Alt-X for Split Beam and shortcut Alt-U for Make Unbeamed.
For some strange reason I wasn’t able the assign the latter (Alt-U for Make Unbeamed) to my Dorico version 5 installation on my laptop.

Alt-U is used by Dorico to cut according to the rhythmic grid (as in transform a half note in 8 16th notes in one shortcut)
