Another Sibelius flaw, unmentioned in the long list quoted in this

me this is a deal breaker all by itself, though I do keep a copy of
the program to edit the occasional Sibelius score that comes my way.
Hi Andrew -
I'm not sure what you mean by "break secondary beams," could you
elaborate? They way I understand it, (like dividing 8 32nds into 2
groups of four connected by a single beam) it is something that Sib
can do, but perhaps I misunderstand you.
In 4/4 time, enter two 16ths followed by a 16h-note triplet. You will
see two beams linking all five notes. The proper notation would be for
the inner beam to be broken between the duplet and the triplet, but
Sibelius 3 cannot do this. I was told as much, in so many words, by
Sibelius tech support.
Sibelius *can* break *both* beams, and that is the kludge you have to
use--but it does not satisfy me.
If you have a routine in Sib.3 that will break just the inner beam, as
described, please tell it to me. If such a thing is poss. in Sib.4 I'd
like to know that too.
