Yes, I've recently (4 days ago) installed the JW plugins (64-bit), but haven't had a chance to do much with them yet. There's a ton of stuff in there.

I would like all eighth note passages to be beamed together by the half-note, but I would like all sixteenth note passages to be beamed by quarter-note. Currently (Finale 2010), for each set of meas...
