eight notes group over half bar
I have been taught not to write eight notes grouped over the half of the bar. So if I have a 4/4 measure and I have a eight note on 2 and, and an eight note on 3 then they should not be grouped together. mScore does group these notes.
Since I am using mScore for school I would really like to write as they want me to. Is there any way to change the grouping options?
Thanks,
Tinus

I thought beaming had something to do with looking really happy and smiling alot.
Thanks that was exactly what I was looking for.

The 0.9.3 release has much better automatic beaming than previous versions (although it still isn't perfect). If you are using 0.9.2 or earlier I would recommend upgrading.

By the way, your comment made me smile (beam).

I'm using 0.9.4 and it is a lot better. The only weird thing was the single eight note on 2 and beaming into the 3 :)
But now that I know how to unbeam I am very happy with mScore. All I need now is the midi to work :)

Btw I agree that in 4/4, if second beat is 8th rest, 8 note and 3rd beat, two 8th notes. The 3 notes should not be beamed.
David, I know you write some automatic rules :) Maybe you can change them accordingly ? :)
Sorry, I misread your initial post. I didn't see the extra "and" after "2".
In this particular instance MuseScore is actually ignoring the beaming rules I wrote. I have been aware of this bug for a while but not sure how to fix it.
This is fixed in the latest prereleases for 0.9.4

Thank you for fixing that. That speeds up things considerably.
