Simple question. I have 3 8th notes I want to beam together. I have single flags on each.
I have tried using arrow to select them and then go to utilities and rebeam. Nothing happens.
I'm using Finale 27.3.0.137.

With Simple entry, select the second note by Ctrl+clicking, then type /
Repeat for the third note.

If your piece is in 6/8 and you're not getting three eighths beamed together automatically, you've used the wrong kind of 6/8--a common mistake. Speak up and we'll tell you how to fix it.
