Beam - Adjust note to beam distance
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/beam
Section "Adjust note to beam distance"
In the inspector, about right and left fields from "position" section : in MS, both act same way ; not just "right" for angle and "left" for note to beam distance, as described. No way to adjust distance in the inspector other than incrementing both the same value.

Tested on a new score from scratch.
IMO, handbook is right, MS wrong !

As per how MuseScore behaves the handbook is wrong (so we better correct the handbook).
But having both edit methods behaving the same might be good for consistency, something to consider for the next version, I guess.
It works exactly like the handbook says on my computer. Double click the beam drag the left square to move the entire beam, move the right square to adjust the angle.
SlowRabbit, do you by chance have flatten all beams selected in style->general->beams?

That part works OK, but the alternative method via inspector's left position only does not.

The handbook could be clearer on the use of user position in the inspector, but it does what it says. Since the two sides work independently, perhaps it the inspector should be in its own section rather than intermingled. Here is an outline with a little explanation:
1. Adjust the beam with the mouse
a. Adjust beam angle
b. Adjust beam height
2. Adjust the beam with the inspector
a. Beam height - the two ends of the beam are move independent of one another unless the the Horizontal box directly above user position is checked
b. Horizontal beam

Yes, adding that part about horizontal beam in inspectotor makes sense

I'll work on it. Give me a little while I'm back and forth between this and other things at the moment.
