Dear all,
I would like to ask two questions again. It's a bit difficult explaining it in
English.
1) OK, suppose I am writing in 3/4. On the second beat of a measure I want nine sixteen notes to fill the second 'time' (beat) of the measure, so, the measure would look for example like this: 2 eight notes, 9 sixteen notes, 1 quarter note. How can I write this?
You would enter the two eighth notes for the first beat; use the tuplet
tool for the second beat, and enter a quarter note for the third.
However, there are some who would say that nine sixteenth notes in the
time of a quarter is not the best engraving technique. Since, if one
desires a triplet in the time of a quarter note, one uses eighth notes,
and if one wants a quintuplet in the space of a quarter, one would use
sixteenth notes, for nine subdivisions of a quarter note, 32nd notes
would be the more generally accepted value than 16th notes.
2) I am writing in 3/4 and I want 5 sixteen notes and one quarter note on the first beat. The sixteen notes are like a grace note, but there is not one, there are 5 of them. The measure is for example like this: 5 sixteen notes one quarter note, one quarter note, one quarter note. How can I write this?
To convert a note to a grace note, one presses the ";" key immediately
after pressing the note; the sequence I would use to create a quintuplet
grace note would be to enter the first note and immediately thereafter
press the ";" key. I would then enter the second note, and immediately
after that, press the ";" key, and then use the "/" key to join the two
grace notes with a beam. repeat ther process for the other three grace
notes. Then enter the quarter note the usual way.
