Connecting Stems

Though I must admit this program is the ideal for the composer, I have but one question to ask. Whenever I put two eighth notes, it notates it as two different notes rather than connecting the stem which is very much needed for me. There must be a way to do this, but how?

Best Regards

Julian

Select (highlight) the notes you want beamed, either by dragging with the mouse or by pressing SHIFT and the right-left cursor keys, then press CNTL "b" or click the toolbar button that shows the two 1/8 notes beamed with a red line.

You can also use the "Automatic Beam" function, by pressing ALT, t, a or by clicking Tools | Automatic Beam.
