The same triplet moved one eighth note to the right,
crossing the barline
Deleting tuplets
You can delete tuplets, including all the tuplet notes, but you can also delete tuplet brackets and
numbers/ratios without deleting the corresponding notes.
PROCEDURE
1.
In Write mode, select the tuplets you want to delete.
TIP
To delete an entire tuplet and all the notes within it, select all the noteheads and the
corresponding tuplet bracket or tuplet number/ratio.
2. Press Backspace or Delete .
RESULT
The selected tuplets are deleted.
Selecting just the notes deletes the notes, but does not delete the tuplet.
Selecting just the tuplet bracket or tuplet number/ratio deletes the tuplet, and the notes that
were previously within the tuplet are retained with the same notated duration. For example,
deleting the bracket from triplet quarter notes leaves the notes previously in the triplet as
three quarter notes.
NOTE
This overrides existing notes immediately after the tuplet. However, if Insert mode is activated,
any subsequent existing notes are pushed to later rhythmic positions to accommodate the extra
rhythmic durations required.

Tuplet beams
Tuplet beams join notes in tuplets that can be joined with beams just like non-tuplet beams. You
can make the same changes to tuplet beams that you can make to any other beam.
