Result
The slants of 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.

You can also use Beam direction in the Beaming group of the Properties panel to change the slant of beams. The property is available when you select noteheads within the beam group, and its options all ensure that beam ends are positioned correctly relative to staff lines.
-
You can set ideal beam slants for all beams project-wide on the Beams page in Engraving Options.
