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.
Changing the angles of tuplet brackets
You can change the angles of individual tuplet brackets by moving the square handles on each corner of tuplet brackets to new graphical positions independently.

Changing the angles of tuplet brackets

You can change the angles of individual tuplet brackets by moving the square handles on each corner of tuplet brackets to new graphical positions independently.

Procedure

In Engrave mode, select one of the following handles on the tuplet brackets whose angle you want to change:
- The start corner handle
- The end corner handle
Move the handles in any of the following ways:
- Press Alt/Opt-Right Arrow to move them to the right.
- Press Alt/Opt-Left Arrow to move them to the left.
- Press Alt/Opt-Up Arrow to move them upwards.
- Press Alt/Opt-Down Arrow to move them downwards.
  
  Tip
  If you want to move handles by larger increments, you can press Ctrl/Cmd as well as the standard key command, for example, Ctrl/Cmd-Alt/Opt-Left Arrow.
- Click and drag them in any direction.
Optional: Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other corner handle on the tuplet brackets whose angle you want to change.
