Tuplets
Tuplets indicate where a beat is divided into a different number of subdivisions than is usually expected according to the current meter. They can be used to fit more notes or fewer notes in a beat than usually exist in a beat, according to the usual pattern of subdivision.
Tuplet brackets
Tuplet brackets show the duration of tuplets that are not joined by beams, such as triplet quarter notes, by showing the notes within the tuplet under a bracket.
Forcing tuplet brackets to be horizontal
You can change the angle of individual tuplet brackets so that they appear horizontal. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only or for all layouts and frame chains.
