Have you considered rebeaming, without the extend beams checked from
document options. What you have written could be a simple 3/4 or even a
6/8 if they were eighth notes. If you were to beam them as 1/dotted half,
you would obtain the wanted results. Do this via Mass Edit / Rebeam /
Rebeam to time signature. This does not change your written time
signature, only the way finale beams the notes together Also, this is
measure specific, so you need only do the measures wanted. For a large
quantity of measures set up a metatool, eg. via Tobias' tools if you are
on Pc.
For 6/16 use 1/dotted eighth.
Since you are using two hands, the other way to do this is via cross
measures staffs, but you first need to set up the timing correctly, and
then instead of using layers use Cross Staffs from Note mover

Hard to describe in words, but I'll try...
I'm doing a piano part of 16th notes split up among the two hands, eg.
R R R
L L L
As the composer has notated it, the RH notes are beamed together and the
LH notes are beamed together. I've entered it this way
LAYER 1: RH: rest note rest note rest note
LAYER 2: LH: note rest note rest note rest
In Document Options/Beam Options I checked "Extend Secondary Beams over
Rests" and things beamed correctly. Then I went back and made the rests
invisible, at which point all the extended secondary beams reverted to
unextended.
Any suggestions on how I can get those secondary beams to connect either
by giving me another step to do or by suggesting a different overall
strategy for note entry?
Thanks...
