For the curious:
Finally, hide all the triplets and render the partial triplets graphically.
in this example you would only need it on m2-3, then m1 notated normally.
great solution, but i don't like the fact that you can't actually use
finale's tuplets at all in your explanation. so i would add another
tuplet 2:2 on last 2 in m2 (hide number, place manually as
expression), and then the bracket placement and positioning/angle
remains consistent in the case of layout or even pitch changes.
the space where the number should be shrinks when there is no number,
so best solution would be to use a shape expression with white box
behind the number; would have to piddle with it to see if best as
note-attached or measure-attached... except that GODDAMMIT it doesn't
actually work, the tuplet draws in front of the white box
grrrrrrrrrr. well, a judiciously-place text expression 3 is still
very readable in the smaller space.
you could also use a note-attached custom smart shape that might
react at least partially correct in the event of changes, but you
couldn't bracket the full duration without worrying about having to
reposition. measure-attached custon smart shape would work better
for full duration, but it wouldn't move vertically at all if anything
is changed.
