Re: Beam question

[Mike Dean]

Original thought: [d g d g] (wound up trying to attach a beam to a quarter rest...)

Improved: d [g d g]

Correct: d[ g d g]

Thanks, Simon!

Not much of an improvement from my original thought of putting square brackets around the group of notes, but it got me closer to the truth

(Thought: would putting square braces around the last three do it?

That isn’t the right way to think of it. The [] aren’t placed _around_ the notes they apply to, but rather attached to the first and last notes as _post events_ (just like slurs, ties, fingering, articulations and many other things). That’s why one writes
d[ g d g]
and not
d [g d g]

Best, Simon
