Thanks for your answer. Actually, the beaming is ok for the upper line that links all the notes together. The pb is still that the lower beaming line that should link the two a16 is broken. I think that i haven't been precise enough so far : I want to get the same thing with these two scores, for the beaming only : {a8 [a16 a16 a8]} and {a8 [a16*2 a16 a8]} I'm now wondering if it's really possible. Thanks for your help !
