Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the question.

In the second example .sib file, selecting the first group (the first 7 notes) and moving them forward with [clrl][alt]→ breaks the beams of the next notes. Why? How to move without breaking?
And if a beam is selected, can I select the note heads or this time slot with some combination?

Don't move anything. Just copy beat 2 over the top of beat 1!

This question is about moving. I want to understand how to move without breaking the next beams.

So it is a bug or there is a way to move without breaking the next beams?

It's not a bug as such, rather Sibelius lacks a function to allow such changes easily. You've already put in the notes and ryhthms, and Sibelius has fixed them where you first said. If you then want to 'move them around', you'll have do so so bearing in mind the rythmical constraints of the score you have set up. Possibly other software has such a feature, but Sibelius doesn't. You have to use what works for you.

But there is free space for moving - a 32-th pause. And it moves. But it breaks the next beams what obviously shouldn't be. So maybe it can be moved more safely, without breaking...
