Assuming 4/4...
If you select the time signature tool, double click the first
measure, and click More Options, you can have 4/4 display while
Finale thinks it is in 2/2. Then beaming will be to the half note by
default. The only problem with this is that Finale will only display
two slashes per bar instead of four when Slash Notation staff style
is applied.
If instead of doing this, you select the relevant passages with Mass
Edit Tool and select Rebeam to Time Signature, and choose 2/2, you
will get the beaming you require and the number of slashes in Slash
Notation will be unaffected. Also, this way you can rebeam only some
staves if that's what you need.
Umm, yes I said that at the end of my answer, just before the "now see
here, young man" lecture. Glad to see someone else agrees with me that
doing it afterwards is better than having it happen by default
(assuming one WANTS beaming in that way, that is!)
