Create and edit tuplets
You can add and edit tuplets—groups of notes evenly divided over a specific rhythmic value—in
the Score Editor. The most common tuplet is the triplet (a group of three notes that typically
occupies the space of two or four notes).
The symbol for tuplets is grouped together with the symbols for triplets in the Notes group in
the Part box.
N-tuplet symbol
In some cases, you need to choose an appropriate display Quantize value in the Region
inspector. See
Quantize on page 678.) You use the N-tuplet object for the display of other tuplets.
Change how a tuplet is displayed
1 Drag the N-tuplet symbol from the Part box onto the first note.
The target note must be indicated in the help tag before you release the mouse button. The
Tuplet window opens.
Set the appropriate parameters in the Tuplet window:
•
Tuplet number of notes: Set the number of tuplet notes in the upper-left field.
•
Tuplet time value: Set the time value in which the tuplets occur in the upper-right
numerical field.
•
Tuplet note value: Choose the note value of the tuplets (1/8, 1/16, 1/32, and so on) from the
pop-up menu.
•
Hide bracket: Select to hide the bracket over the tuplets.
•
Hide numbers: When selected, the tuplet number will not be printed. It will be displayed in
parentheses, to allow further edits to the N-tuplet.
•
Show note value: Select to have the N-tuplet display also contain the note value (the lower
number).
