Yes, thanks much, Christopher. This is something I tried, and you confirm the issues that it presents. I've finally come up with the simpest way, I think. It does not play back (the composer doesn't need this; he has sequenced it in a language he wrote, as he's a programmer). I created the full tuplets because every tuplet is complete, but interleaved with other notes. After all the measures were entered that way, I went into page view, spaced the measures and updated and locked the layout. Then I distinguished the different tuplets by temporarily changing their stems in special tools. Next, I dragged each note where it belonged, and spaced with salt & pepper to taste. I broke the beams on the eighth (and in other measures, sixteenth) tuplets, restored the stem length, deleted the tuplet brackets and numbers, and added numbers over each note (as the composer has written) as expressions. This method eliminates getting lost in nested tuplets, which is where I found myself first. It also revealed a typo in one measure of the manuscript. :) Dennis -- Please participate in my latest project: http://maltedmedia.com/waam/ _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
