I think the beam on the red note should point to the left.
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=First
|Rest|Dur:16th
|Note|Dur:16th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam|Color:1
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam
|Rest|Dur:16th
|Note|Dur:16th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Down,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
I concur
That is strange. Probably NWC incorporated the direction for whatever reason, and forgot to make it point the other direction when the first note is inserted. It's only trivial, really. Most scores would simply bar the first two and the second two seperately.
The problem with
is that it's not necessarily automatic.
You can control beaming by using a hidden time signature. If you're writing in common time but want 4 8th notes to be beamed automatically, you just insert a hidden cut time signature after the common time signature. And vice versa.
I agree with you Rick.
