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 numbers/ratios
Tuplet numbers and ratios are very similar: both indicate the number of equal notes included in the tuplet, such as 3 for triplets, but tuplet ratios also include the number of normal notes into whose duration the tuplet fits, such as 3:2 for triplets.
Changing the position of tuplet numbers/ratios
You can change the horizontal positions of tuplet numbers and ratios in individual tuplet brackets.

Changing the position of tuplet numbers/ratios

You can change the horizontal positions of tuplet numbers and ratios in individual tuplet brackets.

Procedure

Select the tuplet brackets whose tuplet number/ratio positions you want to change.
In the Properties panel, activate Center in the Tuplets group.
Choose one of the following options:
- Visual
- Rhythmic

Visual positions tuplet numbers/ratios at the visual center of the tuplet beam or tuplet bracket.
Rhythmic positions tuplet numbers/ratios at the rhythmic center of the tuplet beam or tuplet bracket, which might be visually off-center.
