[Finale] Beaming question

2005-11-05 Thread Johannes Gebauer
The following 8th notes (treble clef) b (on 1st top ledger line), g, e, g, (all same octave), beamed together (beam below). Should this beam be horizontal, or slanted (down, obviously)? I can't really find a similar case in Ross. Johannes -- http://www.musikmanufaktur.com

Hi Johannes, Flat looks better to my eyes because the figure seems centered around one note, even though the last note is lower than the first, and the flat beam expresses that. I even tried entering a descending figure afterward, in order to see if that influenced my response - making
