I still am annoyed that Finale is not smart enough to beam correctly,
as the rules are pretty cut-and-dried (beam 3/4 in 6 8ths, but break
16ths and all smaller values on the quarter).
Indeed -- it is amazing that they can spend time on importing audio and
allowing us to work with video but they can't institute this simple
beaming rule.
And as you say it is cut-and-dried.
How hard would it be for Finale to incorporate an additional dialog into
the time signature dialog, something reachable by an OPTIONS button,
which would have a couple of places where we could specify beaming
patterns for 8ths and for 16ths and for 32nds?
Of course, you can't market that since it would be an admission of a
previous shortcoming, so it has to take a back seat to the more
marketable phrases such as "The ONLY notation program that allows you to
import audio data to incorporate in your scores!"
