I know we have some experienced Sibelius users on this group, and maybe one of 
them can help…

I’m working on a project with a composer who uses Sibelius.  There’s a passage 
in (3+2)/8 where the pattern is
        eighth note, eighth rest, eighth rest, eighth note, eighth rest

For ease of parsing the beats, we’d like top extend the beams to include the 
rest, yielding two beam groups:  one of 3 eighths, one of 2 eighths.  Using the 
normal Sibelius beaming tools, you get this easily but the beam of the 3/8 
section is horizontal while the beam of the 2/8 section is slanted.

The goal is to get the 2/8 note+rest group to have a horizontal beam that 
includes the rest.

After lots of googling, I did find a way to do it by changing the beam settings 
globally, instrument-by-instrument, but no way to select a passage and adjust 
the beam angle.

Anyone know of a way to selectively (or even individually) flatten beams in 
Sibelius?

Thanks!
