Anton's original example looked fine to me. Andre's suggestion causes the beam terminations to be offset horizontally from where they should be. The steps for setting up a staff-jumping beam are
1. Adjust the starting section's up-downness, height, and slope until the beam goes where you want it to. This may require some iteration. 2. Look at the ending section. If it's termination is offset horizontally from where it should be, then change the up-downness of that section. PMX sets the default up-downness of the final section of a staff-jumping beam is be the opposite of what it would select if the section stood alone. (The reason for this is that in most cases, the notes in the ending section of a staff-jumping beam will be in the lower part of the staff if the beam comes from below, and vice versa.) In Anton's example, the 2nd-line treble-clef g's would get an up-beam if they stood alone, and PMX flips this to be a down-beam when they are joined. Since the beam from the starting section ends up below the termination of the ending section, PMX's choice is OK and no override is needed. But if the treble clef notes were (say) 4th-line d's, they would get a down-beam if alone, so PMX flips this to an up beam. That would cause a badly aligned termination. Now you need to override the up-downness of the final section with "[ju" . PMX will flip this to a down-beam termination and it will come out right horizontally. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Andre Van Ryckeghem > Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2001 9:26 AM > To: Anton A.
