All beams are drawn automatically

If you do not like where beams are put, they can be entered by hand. Mark the first note to be beamed with `[' and the last one with `]'.

There are some interesting points to note in this example. Bar lines and beams are drawn automatically. Line breaks are calculated automatically; it does not matter where the line breaks are in the source file. Finally, the order in which time, key, and clef changes are entered is not relevant: in the printout, these are ordered according to standard notation conventions.
