beaming in musescore 4
The default beaning for sixteenth notes is different in MuseScore 4 than it was in MuseScore 3. How do I change the default so that it behaves as it did in MuseScore 3? It's very annoying to do it manually for every group.

I can't reproduce, in a 2/4 time sig Mu3 and Mu4 behave identical and per your Mu3 image

You have a sub-beam between the second and third notes in the MU4 version. Such defaults are set in the Time signature properties.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/time-signatures#change-default-beam… for MU3 or https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/time-signatures#properties-beams for MU 4.

Yes, of course. But than (s)he wouldn't have asked the question how to change it

I know this is old, but I just had the same issue in 4.3.2. The score started beaming fine, but after a while, suddenly all 16ths throughout the score changed to having those sub-beams.
The first screenshot is time signature properties normally (4+4+4+4). The second screenshot is the properties set to something weird (3+1+2+2+4+1+3). You can see that, if any 16th beam is present, it has been replaced by a sub-beam in those exact same places (on the "and" of every beat).
I genuinely am not sure what happened; I can't reproduce it.

That first screenshoot isn't a normal 4+4+4+4, attach your score.

It is normal, I checked multiple times; that's my problem lol.
See after m. 49 in mvt 2. Just write some 16ths, and on my end it does that sub-beam thing.
It did it earlier in the score too, but I already fixed most of the stuff in mvt 1 with a workaround I managed to do.

I can confirm this strange beaming in MS 4.3.2, it doesn't do it loading the score into MS 3.7

It's OK until the 6/8 at bar 38 in the 1st movement then it starts to go wrong.

Also confirmed in my 4.3.2. What was the workaround you found?

@rothers: Correct, and it's only ok up until that point because of this workaround. When it messed up, it was the entire score, including that earlier 10/8 section.
@bobjp: The workaround is to create a custom time signature with a different subdivision (e.g. 8/8 instead of 4/4) and then specify the groupings what you want (aka 4+4+4+4). That fixes it, and that's what I did for the 10/8 section. I can fix mvt 2 that way as well, but for troubleshooting purposes I gave you the version with the default 4/4 signature.

Is this your own score?
In reply to Is this your own score? by bobjp
Yes.
I also have noticed when I deleted measures in the 1st mvt, the beaming problem in the 2nd mvt went away. I want to experiment more with it to see exactly what is causing this, but I don't quite have the time/patience required at the moment.
