Adding length to beam between notes?
Is it possible to extend the length opf a beam between notes? For Example, 2 eighth notes, extend the spacing between them.

The note changes, but what about the beam length? Doesn't seem to change with grow right.

if you change the chord offset (not the element's offset), the beam will follow

aaah super Jojo thanks again
Can you explain why you are trying to do this? There are mathematical rules for calculating the proper spacing between notes according to their duration; manually moving notes like that will mess it up. If the goal is simply to make the measure wider - or perhaps have fewer measures on the system - best to simply add a system break, or use the stretch commands as necessary for fine tuning, etc. Or, if the goal is to defeat the usual rules of notation and have completely proportional spacing for the purpose of a pedagogical exercise, use invisible rests in another voice.
if you attach your score and explain what you are trying to do in more detail, we can assist further.
