Dennis, weren't you refering to cross staffing? I don't know Graphire at all, but going from the instructions on the web site this seems incredibly complicated. It needs "ghost notes" to start with. This is much easier in Finale, especially when using the plugin in 2k4. Perhaps you meant something else? I am not questioning that some things in Graphire are much easier or more intuitive, but cross staff beaming doesn't seem to be one of them. Also, it seems that this programme is no longer supported. It doesn't seem to run on any modern operating system, neither XP nor OS X.
