I've tried the beam break as in the first node above and it does not work, is it a matter of just re-writing the bar?

Could we see the score (or an extract of it)? Attach it here.

Here it seems to work regularly (on Vista / 2.0.2)

As always, *precise step by step instructions to reproduce the problem* are the modt import thing to include when asking for help. I cannot possibly stress this enough.
attached a 3 bar file especially for you, the first bar has the unbreakable beam, next bar the correction

How do you try to unbreak them exactly, step by step?
For me, it works. Select a note, double click the palette cell.

I also got it to work in the main file rather than this sample - it took some doing, much multi-clicking. What seems to happen is the box seems to stick on "auto" rather than begin beam...

A simple double click should do the trick every time. Perhaps you are clicking too slowly, and you simply need to adjust the double click speed sensitivity in your mouse settings. It's also possible you are accidentally double clicking the note, thus putting it into Edit mode and temporarily locking out other operations.

no I think something is sticking somewhere, a simple double click did not do it except on the 3 bar sample. It is a matter of lightly clicking on the note and then vigorously double clicking on the box. (when it is not looking)
In reply to no I think something is by macrobbair
If a simple double click didn't do it, it has to be one of the two things I mentioned - you either didn't do it fast enough, or you accidentally entered Edit mode first. Because double click really does work reliably when done correctly.
EDIT: I guess it is also possible your mosue button is starting to fail.

Beam and spacer?
My music teacher is pruff reading my music sheets, very strictly. She wants the spacer (or the rest) to face to the left. Example attached.
She also wants the beam to stop as in my example. How do I do them in version 2.2 my O.S. is Windows 7 on a 64 bit laptop.??
The examples are not made in MuseScore.

In reply to Beam and spacer? My music by Wena Parry
A spacer is not something visible - it's something you add to a score to create extra space between staves. What you are showing is a rest. But it's backwards - that's incorrect notation. The beaming is also incorrect. You should not beam a note on the "&" of one beat with a note on the next beat (except when beaming the complete beat).
Are you *sure* your music teacher asked for this? Is this for some unusual experimental? Can you explain the purpose a little better? Is it possible that the first rest is actually supposed to be a *quarter* rest instead of an *eighth* rest? If so, that would explain the beaming, but MuseScore would be doing this automatically as well.
