Several things you could do: change your meters to show actual groupings, in the advanced dialog for time signatures -- put 2+3 in the top box of the first pair, and 8 in the bottom. Or 3+2, or whatever the groupings are you want.
To get the beams to stick, use the mass-mover tool, rebeam to time signature, and enter the groupings you want. Pain in the butt, but it does work.

Help? I've just entered a passage of changing meters, mostly 5/8 and 7/8, using WinFin2003a, using Simple Entry to get the notes in.
All the 5/8 and 7/8 was displayed with individual flags, so I used the / stroke in Speedy to group all the beams properly, and it worked fine, and the extracted part came out fine too.
Later I did some revising, including adding beats and bars here and there. At some point after that I noticed all the 5 and 7 bars were individually flagged again.
Two questions:
Can I tell Finale 2003a that in this document, or a range of measures, all 5/8 should be grouped 3+2 and all 7/8 should be grouped 3+2+2? If not, that's a good feature to look forward too.
If I can't set this for a document or passage, I wonder why the beaming was forgotten after revisions? Dynamics and articulation stayed intact.
Thanks for any advice!
