Tuplet display options

In the Score Settings dialog, on the Project–Notation Style subpage (Tuplets category), you can find the following settings for tuplets:

Tuplet Brackets

There are three possible settings for this option:

  • None: Tuplets never have brackets.

  • Always: Tuplets always have brackets.

  • …by the head: Brackets are shown only when the tuplets are displayed on the “head side”.

Display Tuplet values by the Beams

If this option is activated, tuplets are displayed on the “beam side” of the notes instead of on the note head side.

Suppress Recurring Tuplets

If this option is activated, and you have several tuplets of the same type in the same bar, only the first of these is displayed as a tuplet.

Show Tuplet Brackets as “Slurs”

If this option is activated, the tuplet brackets are “slur-like” (rounded).
