REQ: Choose autobeam grouping
When I click autobeam on 6/8, it automatically does two eighth notes and doesn't seem to give the option to group by three eighth notes. Could this be added in a future version?
Thanks, Cory

When, where, and why are clicking autobeam? Doesn't it automatically beam 3 eighths together as you enter your notes without clicking ven opening the beam palette? It does for me.
In 6/8 time eighth notes group by three. (Tested using MuseScore 1.0, Windows 7).
If you are experiencing something different, please give steps so that others can reproduce the problem.
I don't know how I'd recreate it, whenever I replace anything, it bars it wrong. For example, I deleted the second beat of the 6/8 measure on the last line in the screenshot attached and when I place three eighth notes, it bars one to the previous three and the last two to each other.
I've also attached the score so you can try and recreate it.
Thanks for the help, Cory
PS. I'm using MuseScore 1.0 with Windows 7.

Your last line is very weird. Check the last measure for example... Which version of MuseScore did you use to create this ?
I edited your score with MuseScore 1.0. The change I made
Then I can't reproduce your problem.

I just opened up the file you attached up and it's still beaming in twos everywhere... Not just that measure. The score was created using the music OMR program SmartScoreX Pro and I saved it as music XML to import into MuseScore
Thanks for 2) and 4) though, I couldn't figure out how to do those things.
Oh, and btw, how did you get rid of the extra rests in the last measure? I couldn't get rid of them for the life of me..

MusicXML could be the problem indeed.
I removed the rests in the last measures by copy the music and deleting the measures (See Measure operations )

Okay, thank you. Would it be reasonable to ask for a "reset beaming feature"? I am having to go through the entire piece and manually change every beam.

I don't get your beaming problem... Here is how your score looks like for me.
To reset automatic beaming you can do Ctrl + A to select everything and in the beam palette double click the auto beam element.

Yes, it looks perfect because I manually went through everything and fixed it knowing that a fix would not be provided until a new version of MuseScore and I can't wait till then. So I just sucked it up and did it.

Even then, I went through the file as posted and tried changing some of the notes that are currently displaying in groups of threes - like changing the repeated "A" notes in voice 2 toward the bottom of the page into "B" notes - and sure enough, it rebeamed in twos. Clicking the autobeam icon didn't fix it.

I don't understand what you don't understand? It shouldn't be beaming in twos, that's the problem. You were able to recreate it you're saying?

If you're directing the above at me, then yes, I am saying I can recreate your problem; I do understand it now. I was just confirming that I was still able to reproduce the problem, even though you say you fixed it by hand. That is, yes, it's fixed for now, but as soon as you try changing the pitch of the notes in Note Entry mode, it reverts to beaming in twos, and thus is indeed still "broken". Assuming that the MusicXML isn't including some sort of command that is forcing the beaming to come out that way by default. in which case, the only problem would be that MuseScore doesn't provide a way to set defaults beaming behavior - which is a known limitation that I know others are hoping to see fixed too.
In reply to If you're directing the above by Marc Sabatella
Yes, it is still broken by "fixed" I meant I fixed the barring for it to be correct, not fixed the automatic barring. Hopefully this will make its way into the next version.

Before it can be fixed, we really need instructions to reproduce the behavior starting from a new score.UPDATE: I took a look at the file and it turns out MuseScore actually is beaming the eighth notes correctly. If you go to the Measure Properties (as described in the Measure operations of the handbook), you will see that the actual time signature is 3/4 not 6/8. MuseScore is observing the rules for 3/4 time.
