Simple Entry Tuplet Definition

How to get there

Click the Simple Entry Tool  image\Simple_Entry_Tool.gif. On the Simple Entry Tool Palette, click the Simple Tuplet Tool, then shift-click the first note to include in the tuplet group.

What it does

In this dialog box you can define the rhythmic aspects of a tuplet grouping—the number of eighth notes that are to be played in the time of a quarter note, for example. Use this dialog box to define any tuplet more complicated than a triplet in the current duration. For more complex adjustments to tuplets, see Tuplet Tool.

Note that you can predefine the default visual aspects of the tuplets in your score, so that every tuplet you create automatically appears with a neatly positioned bracket (for example). To do so, ctrl-click the Tuplet Tool (in the Main Tool Palette, not the Simple Entry Palette). Finale displays Document Options-Tuplets where you can specify these parameters. (See Document Options-Tuplets for a more complete discussion.)
