George Ports Lawrence's suggestion is the best one for an entire work, but if the passage is short, then in Speedy Entry the backslash key break/ creates beams with one keystroke. Make sure the cursor is on the SECOND of the two notes you want to break. Or, for a medium-length selection, enter the music normally, then select with Mass Edit and do Rebeam to Time Signature and choose 8/8. Of course, if you're doing something with lyrics, you'll get this effect after you enter your lyrics, select the measures with Mass Edit, and do Rebeam to Lyrics.

Re: [Finale] Eighth notes without beams
if it's in 4/4 you could set the time sig as 8/8 and set the use other time signature to 4/4 Cheers, lawrence lawrenceyates.co.uk ___ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale

Re: [Finale] Eighth notes without beams
Your sugestion works but, what if I just want a couple of 1/8 without beams and some others with beams in the same measure? Is there a way to select a couple to change here and there? Thanks for your help Lawence.
