Beam Height
As my attached file, I wrote a drum score.
But I cannot change my beams to the same height.
Does anyone can teach me how can I solve it?
Thanks a lot~

You can change stem length by double clicking and dragging the handles (or nudging with the keyboard).

Thanks for your reply, it works!!!
But can I change all stem length together?
Or the only thing I can do is change it one by one?

All together throughout the whole score? No. But you can adjust the height and angle of the whole beam group by double clicking the beam itself. Left handle adjusts height, right handle angle.
hello,
Is there any way to make the height of the beam a default height rather than adjusting all the beams after they have been inputted?
This would especially help for percussion scores that are one line but the notes are too short to add tremolos.
Something like how the lyrics can be defined (vertical and horizontal location)

I'm looking for the same thing. This would be incredibly useful as it takes forever to do it all manually. This seems like something that would be near the top of the necessary list.

You can get this by using the User position (Beam section) in the Inspector.
So, for example, I take initially attached to this thread: TestScore_0.mscz For use with 2.0.2, because the values have changed since (but it works by the same way now)
You have to do:
1) Right-click on a beam -> Select -> More -> Tick: "same voice" -> Ok
2) In the Inspector (F8): Tick "User position"
3) Change and align the two values, that is to say, eg: -0,65sp X 2 instead of -0,45sp X2
And you get this result: TestScore User beam position.mscz
For the record (because I was also interested by this question), it also works for a TAB staff, but only with the "Full" type (could have been expected also with the "Common" type)

I don't understand - the default stem length is according standardengraving practice and should be sufficient for tremolos. Stem lengths should not need adjusting very often at all. Perhaps something else is going on ewith your particular score that is causing a problem - could you post the score you are having problems with and explain further?

I've noticed that when adding notes, sometimes they get taller as they get more packed within a measure. i have to manually adjust them and can never get them to match, only by eye. Is there a way to be sure they are all the same height?
In reply to I've noticed that when adding by Roy Van Tassel
As mentioned above, beam heights should be standard / correct by default and should almost never require manual adjustment. If you are having a problem with a specific score, please start a new thread and attach that score, and describe in more detail exactly where the problem is so we can see what you are talking about.

@Roy Van Tassel, it may be useful to you, see: https://musescore.org/en/node/28576

generally I'd like to see the stems a little taller...
In reply to [inline:Screen Shot by Hamin
Hmm, looks like those stems are shorter than normal stems. Maybe this is something specific to 1-line staves? Perhaps the default for those should simply be a little longer. Not sure why they are shortened, it but it might be because of the code we have in place to shorten stems for notes that extend outside normal staves in multi-voice music. I think maybe we should consider changing the algorithm to deal with percussion staves differently. I don't have my copy of Elaine Gould's "Behind Bars" handy, but I don't remember her discussing this. Anyone have any good references they can cite on how this should be handled?
