On my system such a beam comes out unbroken by default, but perhaps you have different settings. To make the beam connect, the "beam/beat" bit must be OFF for both the grace note and the final 16th note. Somehow you have it set for one or both of them. Fixing this situation on grace notes can sometimes be confusing, since there's no easy way to see if beam/beat is on or off. If you really need to check, you can go into the Edit Frames dialog, but with just the two notes you ought to be able to figure it out by trial and error. The slash key in Speedy toggles the beam/beat between on and off for that note; you've got four permutations, and one of them will work. All of this is assuming that the grace note is indeed a flagged note. If for some reason your grace is a quarter or larger, that will break the beam regardless. In that case, you have to resort to a kludge -- like placing the grace elsewhere in the measure and dragging it horizontally, or entering the grace as an eighth and blanking out the flag somehow. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
