Hey all,
Never mind, I figured it out.
For the curious:
First enter the figure as regular quarter notes and eighth notes.
Next, for the bars with partial tuplets, create a "4 quarters in the
space of 6 quarters" tuplet over the entire bar. This turns all
quarter notes in the measures into quarter note triplets.
Next, we need to change the eighth notes into non-tuplet eighth notes.
This can be done by applying a nested tuplet to the eighth notes:
"four eighth notes in the space of sixth eighth notes."
Finally, hide all the triplets and render the partial triplets
graphically.
Cheers,
- Darcy

I set out to recreate the brief example from Michael Gordon's
"Trance" (great piece, BTW) in Finale -- with correct playback --
and quickly hit a brick wall.
The rhythm is (with "e" = eighth note, and "3" = one quarter-note
triplet):
4/4 | e e e e 3 3 3 | 3 e e e e 3 3 | 3 e e e e 3 3 | 3 3 e e e e 3
| 2/4 3 3 3 |
I couldn't figure out how to get Finale to accept the incomplete
quarter note triplet. What I need here "one quarter note in the
space of 2/3rds of a quarter note," but the Finale interface doesn't
provide for that. Is there another way?
Cheers,
