Creating and Editing N-Tuplets in the Score Editor
The symbol for N-tuplets is found in the triplet group. N-tuplets are groups of notes that
are evenly spaced (by condensing or expanding them) over a specific time period. The
most common tuplet is the triplet, a group of three notes; for example, a group of three
eighth notes played within the space of one quarter note.
N-tuplet symbol
Depending on the situation, Logic Pro usually recognizes and notates regular triplets
correctly. (You need to choose an appropriate display quantize value in the Display
Parameter box. See
Quantize .) You need to use the N-tuplet object for the display of other
N-tuplets.
To change the display of existing notes
1 Drag the N-tuplet symbol onto the first note.
The target note must be indicated in the help tag before you release the mouse button.
The Tuplet window opens, allowing you to define the N-tuplet attributes:
• Tuplet note number: The number of tuplet notes is defined in the upper-left field.
• Tuplet denominator: The value shown in the upper-right numerical field.
