Re: strange beam behavior

[Edward Neeman]

Hi Scott,

Even though it is a cadenza, the beams still work in
4/4.  If you count it out, you will realise that the
beams are split in the natural place for 4/4 time.  To
override this, please read the Manual beams section in
the manual

Cheers,
Edward Neeman
