Robert, This is simply brilliant. Even in its present so-called beta state the plug-in is going to be very useful indeed.
Very clever, the way the "singleton" beams are handled. I wanted to put the broken beam at an angle, so I did this: - Use note position tool to move the extra note a short distance in the direction of the broken beam. - Use note shape tool and custom stem tool to make this note invisible. - Use beam angle tool to give the beam the desired slant. - Use beam extension tool to shorten the broken beam. Could the plug-in be adapted to handle this automatically? Best wishes, Michael Cook >Okay you beamers, the beta version of Beam Over Barline is at my >website.
