in the <span class="application">Rosegarden</span> Notation editor, available on the <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">Phrase</span></span>
3
menu. Select the notes you want to beam, and use the
4
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Beam Group</span></span> menu option. To remove a beam, select the notes and use
5
the <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Unbeam</span></span> menu option.</p><p>It is possible to have more than one beamed group
6
happening at the same time — you just select and beam the
7
separate groups one at a time — but Rosegarden is usually not
8
yet clever enough to work out which notes should have stems up
9
and which should have stems down for simultaneous beamed
10
groups, so you will probably have to set the stem directions
11
of the notes in the groups explicitly as well as beaming them.</p><p><span class="application">Rosegarden</span> can attempt to guess a sensible beaming for a
12
piece of music, provided it's not too complicated. To invoke
13
this, select the notes you want to calculate the beaming for
14
(for example by triple-clicking to select a whole staff) and
15
then use the <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Auto-Beam</span></span> option on the
16
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">Phrase</span></span> menu. Auto-beaming
17
is also done automatically when loading a <span class="acronym">MIDI</span> file, for
18
example, and the editor also does some automatic beaming as
19
you enter notes (this can be disabled by changing the
20
"Auto-Beam when appropriate" setting on the configuration
21
dialog or the insertion tool's right-button menu).</p></div><div style="background-color: #white; color: black; margin-top: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;"><div style="position: absolute; left: 20px;"><a accesskey="p" href="nv-note-qualities.html">Prev</a></div><div style="position: absolute; right: 20px;"><a accesskey="n" href="nv-tuplets.html">Next</a></div><div align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></div></div><div style="background-color: #white; color: black; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;"><div class="navLeft">Note stems and slashes�</div><div class="navRight">�Triplets and other tuplets</div><div class="navCenter"><a accesskey="u" href="notation-view.html">Up</a></div></div><br><br><div class="bannerBottom" style="background-image: url(bottom-middle.png); background-repeat: x-repeat; width: 100%; height: 100px; bottom:0px;"><div class="BannerBottomRight"><img src="bottom-right.png" style="margin: 0px" alt=""></div><div class="bannerBottomLeft"><img src="bottom-left.png" style="margin: 0px;" alt=""></div><div id="comments" style="position:relative; top: 5px; left: 1em; height:85px; width: 50%; color: #cfe1f6"><p>Would you like to make a comment or contribute an update to this page?<br>
