Secondary Beam Break Selection
How to get there
Click the Special Tools Tool , and click a measure containing beamed sixteenth notes (or smaller values). Click the Secondary Beam Break Tool; handles appear above each beamed note. Double-click the handle above the note after the desired beam break.
What it does
The Secondary Beam Break Tool lets you create breaks in the inner beams of sixteenth notes and smaller values. (To break eighth note beams, click the measure with the Speedy Entry Tool (or choose the Simple Entry Tool), click the note after the desired beam break, and press the slash key [/].) In this dialog box, you can specify which beams you want to break.
Note: Some of these duration values are smaller than you can enter with the Speedy Entry Tool (the 4096th note, for example). You can create such a note by setting the duration manually in the Edit Frame dialog box or through the Change Note Durations command in the Utilities Menu. See Edit Frame dialog box or Change Note Durations dialog box..
