•
Direction: Choose the direction of the bracket and number, or choose Auto to have the tuplet
use the sta style for the track or region.
•
Allow double values: When selected, N-tuplets can contain note values that are twice as long as
the regular tuplet value.
•
Allow half values: When selected, N-tuplets can contain note values that are half the length of
the regular tuplet value.
Tip: Most parameter changes in the Tuplet dialog are reected in the graphic at the top of
the dialog.
2 Click OK.
In the score, the above example would look like this:
Insert tuplets with the pointer
1 Insert the rst note where you want it to appear in the score.
2 Drag the N-tuplet symbol onto it.
If you hold down Option as you insert the N-tuplet symbol, the most recently inserted N-tuplet
settings are used, without the dialog opening.
3 Dene the settings in the Tuplet window.
The display initially shows a series of rests, the number of which corresponds to the N-tuplet
value. You can insert other notes at these rest positions. To do so, select a note value that
approximately matches the length of the desired N-tuplet notes.
The method described above also allows you to create N-tuplets that contain rests or syncopated
note values (double length).
Tip: If you want an N-tuplet to begin with a rest, you rst need to insert a user rest from the Part
box, then drag the N-tuplet symbol onto the rest. Automatically displayed rests cannot function
as starting points for N-tuplets.
Make tuplets play with legato phrasing
1 Select the tuplet (or other) notes.

bar, or use the corresponding key command.
