Grouping Notes under Beams with the Group Notes Function
You can group any selection of eighth notes or smaller under a beam using the Group Notes function.
Procedure
- Select at least the two notes where you want the beam to begin and end.
- In the Functions section of the extended toolbar, click Group Notes.
Result
If you group quarter notes, half notes, and other notes that are normally not displayed with beams under a beam, the result is a so-called Brillenbass symbol, commonly used for indicating repeated accompaniment patterns.
