Simple Entry Tuplet Definition dialog box

How to get there

To display the Simple Entry Tuplet Definition dialog box, click the Simple Entry tool. 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.

• __ ____in the space of __ _____ • Half(s) • Dotted Quarter(s) • Quarter(s) (etc.). Define the rhythmic qualities (temporal definition) of the tuplet by entering numbers in these two text boxes (to specify how many) and selecting the rhythmic-value from the drop-down list (to specify "of what value").
• OK • Cancel. Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to discard, the tuplet appearance you’ve created. You return to the score.
