!Sibelius7/!Help/Beams
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

NORMAL USE
By default, Sibelius beams together all
successive notes a quaver and shorter. It uses
a complex rule to determine the beam position
and angle, so you don't need to be able to
drag beams around.
BEAM KEYS (F1 with Shift and Ctrl)
These keys adjust how notes are beamed. You
can also use them to put beams over barlines
and rests.
The keys operate on the selected note, grace-
note or rest:
� F1 beams to the next note or rest and
detaches any beams from the previous note
or rest
� Shift-F1 beams to the notes or rests on
either side
� Ctrl-F1 separates the note or rest from its
neighbours
� Ctrl-Shift-F1 links together two beamed
groups of notes with a single 'primary'
beam; this is used to subdivide large groups
of short notes.
