Beam (music)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A beam in musical notation is constructed as one or more lines used to connect multiple consecutive eighth notes (quavers), sixteenth notes (semiquavers), or smaller note values. Beams usually connect notes of the same duration, but may connect any combination of notes otherwise written with flags.
