Finally.......I remembered something about alt + 9 in Simple Entry. I entered the first 1/8 note and hit alt + 9 while it was still selected......that brought up a different looking dialog box called "Simple Entry tuplet definition". I set what I wanted, pressed save as, and now all is well! Opened a new score which worked again. None of this could have happened for me without your help since you gave me enough ideas on where to look for the solution. Thanks again for you taking the time to help me.

I have to hit control+3 on each set of 1/8 note triplets. I tried to hit caps lock first to hold all the notes to triplets to no avail. I use 'Simple Entry' almost always and is where I ran into the problem. What I'd really wish I could do is be able to select 'Set Default' in the 'tuplet definition menu' and make it stay 1/8 triplets as a default but, it keeps going back to: 3 eighths in the space of 2 eighth notes (instead of 3 eighths in the space of 1 quarter note). There's got to be some way to set the default and make it stick, especially since it was that way originally. I can work around all this but, it is real time consuming. Thanks for all your help. If you run across a way to make the default to stay in Simple entry, could you let me know? Thanks again, George ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 1:58 PM Subject: Re: [Finale] Tuplets Default I would guess that it should work for all recent versions on either platform? I was afraid that might be the case that it would not hold from one instance to another. There is probably another preference setting somewhere in the bowels of the application? This is what I found in the manual under tuplets: To en ter tuplets with the Speedy Entry Tool 1. Click the Speedy Entry Tool image\Simple_Entry_Tool.gif, and click the measure in question. The editing frame appears. 2. If MIDI is not being used, place the cursor on the correct pitch. 3. Press option -number in the number keypad. You can press any number between 2 and 8 to specify the tuplet value that you’re about to enter. When you do so, the number you pressed appears in the upper right corner of the editing frame, telling you that Finale is ready to group the next notes you enter as a tuplet defined by that number. If you need to enter a more complex tuplet (or want to specify a particular bracket or slur configuration), press option –1, and the Tuplet Definition dialog box will appear (see Tuplet Definition dialog box ). 4. Enter the notes of the tuplet. The value of the first note you enter tells Finale whether you’re entering an eighth-note tuplet, quarter-note tuplet, and so on. Finale automatically groups them and brackets them according to the default visual tuplet settings (see “ To predefine the appearance of tuplets , ” below). To enter many tuplets in a row, see To enter many notes of the same value (hands-free MIDI method) . Have you looked here, yet?

I can do it with one set of triplets but, it won't stay that way even though I selected the default button. By the way, I forgot to mention that I am using WinFin 2006b but, it still should work the same shouldn't it? How can I get it to stay as a default. I tried to find a way to set it in the 'document options but, couldn't a way to do that either.
