Deleting Beams
I am having difficulty deleting beams automatically generated by the time signature. If I have the element selected and press delete nothing happens. I can't seem to find a way to override default beam properties despite allusions to such a function in documentation and forums.

Thank you! I was able to change the default to no beams which should work for now. I am still unable to break default beams. I have tried selecting notes and clicking or dragging the "no beam" icon as was suggested un the handbook, but this doesn't seem to work. Could this be a bug or is there more nuance to this feature?

Use the "beam properties" palette. Select the note you want to change (generally the later note of the two whose beam you want to break) and choose the beam or lack thereof you want from the palette. It definitely works.

Thank you for letting me know. I updated my software and this now appears to work. There must have been some bug or glitch in the software that was previously preventing this from working.
