Hello. I am having another problem. It really bugs me. I am writing in 4/4. In one measure I want 6 quarter notes to fill the measure. So, I type the first note and then I click on the tuplet tool. When the window opens, I type that I want 6 quarter notes in the space of 4 quarter notes. I click OK. I do not know why this happens, but I can only enter 5 quarter notes (I am using simple entry). I tried it many times. Eventually, I typed in the window that I want 7 quarter notes in the space of 4 (just to see what would happen). I entered 6 quarter notes (7 is impossible). When I went to the following measure, the program fills in one quarter rest in the previous measure, so the 6 notes where written in the first 3 beats, contrary to my instructions. What am I doing wrong? Best regards, Will
I just sent a reply and realized I didn't say quite what I meant. I made two suggestions, and in the first I said "turn on the tuplet tool before entering the first note" when what I meant was to click on the tuplet icon first in Simple Entry.
I just tried your method and find the same limitation, but either of the methods I suggest (use tuplet icon first, then select quarter note then begin entering and you can enter 2 sets of quarter note triplets), or turn off Check For Extra notes in the Options under the Simple Entry menu and then enter all 6 notes and then define your tuplet.
But your attempt to define it as 6 in the space of 4, I would suggest that you create 2 triplets rather than one sextuplet for ease of reading (and thus performing.)
