You can change the gaps that separate beam lines in individual beams, which can be useful in certain engraving situations. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.
Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

  • Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure
  1. In Engrave mode, select all the noteheads in the beams whose beam line gaps you want to change.
    Note

    For the best results, we recommend selecting all notes in each beam.

  2. In the Properties panel, activate Separation in the Beaming group.
  3. Change the value in the value field.
Result

The gaps that separate beam lines in the selected beams are changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.
