Changing the font used for tuplet numbers/ratios

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to open Engraving Options.
  2. Click Tuplets in the page list.
  3. In the Number and Ratio section, choose one of the following options for Tuplet digit style:
    • Bold weight

    • Plain font

  4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

The font used for tuplet numbers/ratios project-wide is changed.

  • Bold weight and Regular weight are both based on the Tuplet Font style, which must be SMuFL-compliant.
