Clearly, the 16th note beam should point to the left.
See Could this be a bug? in the beta newsgroup for more details.

Rick, it's correct.  Only on the last note of the beam will show the flag left.

Being consistent doesn't make it right. Consider this:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|TimeSig|Signature:AllaBreve
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Rest|Dur:16th

|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-2|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-4|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
|Note|Dur:8th,Dotted|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:16th|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-2|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-4|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End

The rythym is the same. The 16th note's position in the rythym is the same.
How can it possibly be right for the 16th beam (flag) to change direction?

G'day Carl,
I concur with Rick on this, the beam should point to the left.

This would appear to be incorrect as well:
Code: [Select · Download]
!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.0,Single)
|Note|Dur:8th,Dotted|Pos:1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:16th,Grace,Slur|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=First
|Note|Dur:16th,Grace,Slur|Pos:1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
|Note|Dur:16th|Pos:0|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-1|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam
|Note|Dur:8th|Pos:-2|Opts:Stem=Up,Beam=End
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End
Interestingly, NWC 1.75b handles this correctly, but mishandles my original example.
