Beaming Notes Question

[Sherry C]

Hi Andy,

It does appear to be a previously unreported bug re. the 2+2+2+2+2 beaming pattern giving you the error message (now written up as task 2422).

I think the following workaround will get you there, but it would need to happen after you've entered the notes. This may be a distraction while you're entering them, to have the notes improperly beamed, so I do apologize for the inconvenience here.

1. After entering the notes, select all staves.
2. In the Notes and Rests palette, click the "Beaming" button.
3. Now click the "beam all left, primary right" button.
(If you've previously clicked it, you'll get a toggle effect - if the notes all beam together, click the button again for the "proper" effect).

BTW, I love this song - we do it at our church and I play my low whistle (we play it in E) for the bass, along with acoustic guitar. Great lyrics - I really like Stuart Townend's music!

ttfn,
Sherry
