Move the caret with the arrow keys to return to inputting normal notes.
RESULT
The pitches you enter or play in are input as nested tuplets, starting from the caret position.
If multiples of the inner tuplet t exactly inside the outer tuplet, you can continue inputting notes
as the
specied nested tuplet until you stop the tuplets manually.
If multiples of the inner tuplet do not t exactly inside the outer tuplet, the inner tuplet stops
automatically at the end of the last tuplet that ts in the outer tuplet. After that, the outer tuplet
continues until you stop it manually.
NOTE
You can also input nested triplets by clicking Tuplets in the Notes toolbox when the caret is
within an existing tuplet. However, you can only input one nested triplet at a time this way.
Turning existing notes into tuplets
You can turn any existing notes into tuplets, for example, if you need to t extra notes into an
existing duration.
PROCEDURE
1. In Write mode, select the notes on a single staff that you want to turn into tuplets.
2. Press ; to open the tuplets popover.
The popover is automatically populated with a suggested ratio based on your selection.
3. Optional: Change the ratio in the popover. For example, enter 3:2 to input triplets.
4. Press Return to close the popover.
RESULT
The selected notes are turned into tuplets according to the ratio in the popover. For example,
if you select
ve eighth notes and enter 5:4 into the popover, the selected notes become
quintuplet eighth notes.
If the selected notes t into a single tuplet of the specied ratio, only a single tuplet is created.
If the selected notes do not t into a single tuplet, as many tuplets as required are created
automatically.

Turning tuplets into normal notes
You can turn any existing tuplets notes into normal notes, for example, if you want to turn tuplet
eighth notes into standard eighth notes.

In Write mode, select just the brackets, numbers/ratios, or signposts of the tuplets you want
to turn into normal notes.
