I am not sure about beaming notes together.?

Answer 1

Max answers correctly. It doesn't matter what the time signature is, you beam notes together to make the script easier to read. You can group eighth notes together in groups of four in 4/4 time, with a sub-beaming (16Th's, e.g.) applied where necessary to make it easier to read. In an EVEN time signature, first divide the measure into TWO. Then "sub-beam" as necessary to make it easy to read.
