Secondary Beaming Angles Question

Post by Hector Pascal »

Hi all,

In this example, I am wondering about the wedges indicated by the arrows .... Can they be ignored? Or is there a way to manage them? I'm using a two-space beam angle. If anyone has a tip, let me know!

When there are 3 beams or more, it is close to impossible to avoid them, unless you greatly reduce the beam angle.
In this case I believe these wedges are the lesser evil you need to accept living with!

Hi NeeraWM, thank you very much for the reply :) It is helpful to get your opinion! Yes, I think I will try to live with the lesser evil!
Wishing you well,

You could to omit the connecting beams. Alternating hand passages of this type often forgo those. Then you can position the other beams to avoid the triangles. Triangles on top are maybe worse (?) than having them on the bottom.
