In the origin post for a moment, wherein Darcy asked about "another
way", which question I have not seen an answer to:
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?
My suggestion as another way: selecting a time signature of 12/8 display
as 4/4. The notes designated by "e" would be notated as duples (2
eighths in the place of three eighths); the quarter note "triplets"
designated by "3", then become "ordinary" quarter notes. The principal
advantage is that nested tuplets is not required.
