Hi Dennis, For your first case, move your existing notation into non-playing layer and create a playback layer with the over-the-barline quintuplets notated conventionally (i.e., with a tie):
- the first three beats of the first measure will be identical, obviously - on beat 4 of the first measure, create two eighth notes and a sixteenth note under a 5-sixteenths-in-the-space-of-4-sixteenths tuplet bracket, with the last note (the C) tied over the barline - on beat 1 of the the following measure, begin the measure with a sixteenth C (the second half of the tied note) followed by eighth notes on A and F. Apply a 5-sixteenths-in-the-space of 4 sixteenths tuplet bracket to the first beat. We've had this discussion before, but the above is my preferred notation in such cases anyway -- I don't see why tuplets should be treated differently than ordinary notation when it comest to ties over barlines -- at least in relatively straightforward instances like this, where the barline bisects the quintuplet straight down the middle. But regardless, this is the solution that gives you correct playback -- you're free to then hide it and use the over-the-barline tuplet notation in a notation-only, non-playback layer. As for the question of adding a beam stub (instead of a flag) to a single eighth, I'm afraid I have no idea, but Jef probably has a good kludge.
