Re: Compound time sig with parentheses (Was: How to prevent\center-column)

[Trevor Daniels]

Hi Risto

I recently revised the section on beaming in the Notation Reference.
If you've not looked at it recently the answer might be there.  See
NR 1.2.4 Beams.  The precise method for changing the beaming depends
on the time signature and the beam duration, so a simple answer can't
be given.
