Handling beaming
The Grouping dialog
As described above, the Grouping dialog can also be opened by double-clicking an
existing grouping text in the score.
• Which Grouping dialog appears depends on the grouping option you used for the
notes (Beam, Repeats or Accelerando, see above).
Removing groups
If you have created a group as described above and want to remove it, proceed as
follows:
1. Make sure that the “Grouping” checkbox is activated in the display filter bar.
2. Select a group by clicking on its “Grouping” text.
3. Press [Backspace] or [Delete].
The grouping is removed.
• If you need to remove all groups from the score, hold down [Shift] and double-click
on the first “Grouping” text.
This selects all “Grouping” symbols, so you can delete them all at once by
pressing [Backspace] or [Delete].
Removing a note from a group
There is no dedicated “ungroup” command, simply because it is not needed. A group
can consist of one note if you wish. In other words…
- To remove one note at the end of a group, select it and proceed with grouping as
above.
- If you select notes in the middle of a beam and then group, three groups are
created.

Automatic grouping
The program can also go through the selected notes and automatically create
grouping for you, where it is deemed suitable. Proceed as follows:
1. Select the notes that you want checked for auto-grouping.
Typically, you would select all notes on the track by using the Select All command
on the Edit menu.
2. Right-click on one of the notes and select “Auto Group Notes” from the context
menu.
In 4/4 you get for example two groups of eighth notes per bar, in 3/4 you get one
group per bar, etc.
