Hiding/Showing tuplet numbers/ratios

You can hide/show tuplet numbers/ratios for individual tuplets, and independently of tuplet brackets. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains. When showing tuplet numbers/ratios, you can choose a different type for each tuplet individually, independently of your project-wide setting.

Prerequisite

  • The lower zone is shown.

  • Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.

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

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

Procedure

  1. Select the tuplet brackets whose numbers/ratios you want to hide/change, or the signposts of tuplets whose numbers/ratios you want to show. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Number in the Tuplets group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:

    • None

    • Number

    • Ratio

    • Ratio+note

Result

The tuplet number/ratio shown for the selected tuplets is changed. If you selected None, the tuplet numbers/ratios for the selected tuplets are hidden. If the property scope was set to Locally, this change only takes effect in the current layout and frame chain.

Signposts are shown at the position of each hidden tuplet; that is, tuplets with no numbers/ratios or brackets shown.

Tip

  • Deactivating Number returns the selected tuplets to the default setting.

  • You can change which tuplet number/ratio appears on all tuplets project-wide in the Number and Ratio section of the Tuplets page in Engraving Options.

After Completing This Task

If you want to hide indications of tuplets entirely, you might also need to hide the tuplet brackets.
