Hi Christopher, please always write to the list! Your clarification of your question is what I expected. But I don't know the answer for that.

I want a measure without rests beamed like it's traditionally done (2 groups of 4), is this possible? In short, three 8th notes would never be beamed together in any case. I hope I'm clear...
