Separating beams 6/8

• Nov 12, 2021 - 10:44

Hi! I am transcribing Rodrigo's Fantasia para un Gentilhombre for string quartet, and in the final movement I't need to separate quavers into two groups. I know that it's the old school system of writing (two separate pairs of quavers in 6/8), but the pulsation of the piece requests it to be like that. I'd really like it to look the way it looks in the original scores also. I am familiar with the "beam properties" tools, and usually it works, but however I try, it either separates it into two groups 1+3 or 3+1. could you hit me up with hints how to work around it? Cheers!

You don't what you tried exactly, but you probably need to both break the existing beam on beat 5 with "beam start" on beat 5 and join the beam on beat 4 with "beam middle".
