Hiding/Showing tuplet brackets

You can hide/show tuplet brackets for individual tuplets, and independently of tuplet numbers/ratios. You can do this for the current layout and frame chain only, or for all layouts and frame chains.

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 you want to hide, or the signposts of tuplets whose brackets you want to show. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.
  2. In the Properties panel, activate Bracket in the Tuplets group.
  3. Choose one of the following options:
    • Hidden

    • Shown

Result

Brackets on the selected tuplets are hidden/shown. 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.

After Completing This Task

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