Per-flow changes to beam grouping defaults
You can find options to control the default beam grouping rules in each flow independently on the Beam Grouping page in Notation Options.
Dorico Pro has sophisticated underlying rules for producing beam groupings that follow the accepted conventions of music theory, including crossing the half-bar in time signatures like 4/4, beaming all eighth notes together in 3/4, beam groups that include tuplets, and many other situations.
There are alternative conventions for some of these rules, which you can change for each flow in your project independently on the Beam Grouping page in Notation Options.
You can open Notation Options in any of the following ways:
-
Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-N in any mode.
-
Choose
in Write mode or in Setup mode. -
Click Notation Options in the Flows panel in Setup mode.
