So you're saying the 32nd beam stub on the G is facing the wrong direction?

Would that also mean that you would expect to see a 16th beam stub as well (facing backwards)?

Just trying to document this...

Note that f-g is OK, but f-f is very odd indeed;-)


Yes, that 32nd beamlet is pointing the wrong direction. Finale is HORRIBLE at this kind of thing. Try checking the option in Beams>Extend Secondary Beams over Rests. This improves the beamlet's direction, but it is too long now, and forces the sixteenth double beams over the whole beat. I like the double beam this way, (but not the long 32nd beam) but maybe you don't...

The other option is to change the beamlet's direction manually with the Special Tool. It is stupid that you have to do this in this situation, as Finale should do this properly by default.
