Beam Properies
Why is the beam correctly over the rest only in the first bar?
I have tried everything to get the other beams right, but nothing works.
What am I doing wrong?

If so, you can select the note after the first rest and press Beam midd in the Beam palette.

Yes thank you . I got there myself in the end.
I didn't realize it was because in 2/4 time MuseScore groups quavers in pairs and that I therefore had to change the beam properties of the second quaver in each bar.
