I am writing in the soprano voice for choir use. When I use eighth notes, they all tie together with a bar. How can I get rid of the bar and keep the eighth notes separate?

"Issues" are meant to deal with programming problems. You have, thus, highlighted a putative programming problem and have then gone on to assign to yourself the task of either remedying it or of overseeing said remedy. I agree that it isn't easy to know this when you are new to the forum.

Your problem is a lack of knowledge as to how to achieve a particular task. There are two common ways to achieve what you want:

1] Select all the notes that you want separate (as opposed to beamed), go to the Beam Properties palette and double-click on the single quaver symbol (help text says "No beam")

2] Create a keyboard shortcut for "No beam" and then you can use it when you want to separate one or more notes from a beamed set of notes.

Hi dartford 1949

It's better to use the forum for questions, as the Issue Tracker is for bug and feature reports.

Thanks! :)
