Let’s see how it’s possible to change the rules which define the way notes are beamed together in Tablatures.
Tablatures allows to change the beaming pattern on a per-bar basis. The pattern is defined in the Time Signature page of the barline properties sheet:
There you would enter the number of 8th notes to group together. In the example, you can see that entering 2 will result in groups of four 16th notes (which are equivalent to two 8th notes).
When you add a new barline, Tablatures will automatically copy the settings of the previous bar.

says:How do you add a new bar line? I am having difficulty keeping time between two staffs (for two guitars).
Simone
says:You can add a bar line using the Barline checkbox in the Musical Symbols Panel (or using its keyboard shortcut: f).
If you have timing problems, you might want to make sure your different parts have all the same duration, eg. adding any required rest sign.
If I wasn’t clear enough, feel free to send me the tab you’re having trouble with at info@tellini.org

says:Hi everyone I have a question: How do you Separate group notes? When I write four 16th and two 8th they are all beam together like one beat instead of two beats like it should be… Thank you very much!!
Simone
says:to get that result, enter 2 in the first box of the beaming pattern (see image above). That means “beam together the notes equivalent to 2 8th notes”.
