I'm sure that there are tricks to make this work. A simple one that comes to mind is this, if you're content with the spacing it gives you:

- enter five 128th notes followed by a 128th note rest.
- make this a tuplet (without bracket or number): three 64th notes in the time of one 8th note.
- hide the rest.

If the little extra space left by the hiden rest bothers you, you'll need to re-space the notes manually. If you have a lot of these rhythms and this is too much trouble, maybe I can come up with another trick!

Thanks to all for the tips. I realize I should have been more specific and apologize for not giving more context and for my mistake in counting (128th notes). Couperin often uses runs with four or five beams, but these aren't mathematically exact values, which means one has to use tuplets.

In this case, I have five five-beamed (128th) notes in the space of an eighth note. But the tuplet definitions don't go beyond 64ths. If I define the tuplet with 64ths and then change the duration, the spacing is messed up. So, how could I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Dennis
