Surely I'm not the only one who remembers the old days when any return to

In the program options there's something about tie conversion
Screen/Postscript. Maybe that option needs your attention? (Just a guess).

First of all, check out the examples I cited before you knock it. (Bartok's 3rd
Quartet is chock full of nearly every situation you can imagine.) Just because the
lines pierce the noteheads does not mean they obscure the accis.

If you don't wanna change the time sig to composites, you can go to

I have noticed that / key beam connections don't always stay.
Several things you could do: change your meters to show actual
groupings, in the advanced dialog for time signatures -- put 2+3 in the
top box of the first pair, and 8 in the bottom. Or 3+2, or whatever the
groupings are you want.
Thank you all for such quick and clear advice!

Hi Daniel,
While I'm not sure why things disappeared after you manually changed them, I can tell you how to easily get what you want.
In the time signature dialog, click composite.
Here is where you enter the beaming like 3+2 or 2+3, etc.
Enter 8 as your bottom number and click OK.
