Hi,
I'm using simple entry and it's all 8th notes but they all have flags and I want to beam them and can't find out how to change them. It's 12/8 and I'd like to beam them for every 6.

In the time signature, set Composite as 6+6 (in the first box) over 8, to show as 12/8. Seee my attached revision of your file.
