David Bailey asked why I would use the Extend 2ndary Beams option. ("Why would you
want to do that?": a question that, in computers, can lead to heads being bitten off.)
The answer, of course, is for the many cases when one wants the behavior. The simplest
example is 16th note, 16th rest, 16th n

There is a check-box for extending secondary beams over rests.
If you uncheck this, the secondary beam does NOT extend over the 16th
rest. Isn't this what you want?
It seems by your question that you don't want to do this for the whole
piece, but only for individual beats
I routinely use the Extend Secondary Beams over Rests option, but it creates a most
vexing problem. Consider the pattern 16th note, 16th rest, 8th note. If this falls
withing a quarter beat, all three are beamed together. The problem is, the 16th beam
extends all the way over the 16th rest. I ca
