Title: Beaming Up & Down Stem Simultaneously
Post by: Carl Mill on 2005-10-16 11:38 pm

I'm sure this question has been covered before, but I could not find a sufficient answer. Is there any way to beam both up and down stems within the same measure without layering or adding some kind of text? I don’t know how difficult it would be to program, but this feature would be a great help. Problem displayed below.

if you're talking about what i think you are then it is not possib;e without layering.

The only way to achieve this in NWC is to use layering. I do agree, though, that it would be a helpful feature.

Same here. Sometimes I have to add an extra staff, and layer it, just to get 1 or 2 bars right. I then have the choice between 'what the heck' and 'go for perfect', and I usually choose the first method.
