Changing the position of tuplet numbers/ratios

You can change the horizontal positions of tuplet numbers and ratios in individual tuplet brackets, independently of your project-wide setting. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.

Prerequisite

  • If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

  • You have chosen the appropriate property scope for local properties.

Procedure

  1. Select the tuplet brackets whose tuplet number/ratio positions you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Center in the Tuplets group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • Visual

    • Rhythmic

Result

The horizontal position of tuplet numbers/ratios on the selected tuplets is changed. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

  • Visual positions tuplet numbers/ratios at the visual center of the tuplet beam or tuplet bracket.

  • Rhythmic positions tuplet numbers/ratios at the rhythmic center of the tuplet beam or tuplet bracket, which might be visually off-center.

Tip

  • Deactivating the property returns tuplets to your project-wide setting.

  • You can change the horizontal position of tuplet numbers/ratios on all tuplets project-wide in the Number and Ratio section of the Tuplets page in Engrave > Engraving Options.
