Automated subdivision of tuplets

Hello! have a part that looks like this:


And I want to subdivide the nonuplets into groups of three to aid readability. I don’t want to make it a nested tuplet, even if that is theoretically more correct it would clutter the part a lot more.

This would be very cumbersome to do manually in a large project, so is there a way to automate this?

Thanks!

AFAIK there is no setting that will automate this. However there are ways to make it less onerous. But you need to think about the best workflow upfront.

You can ctrl-click the 4th and 7th note of a group without rests and split secondary beam to get the three note grouping.

You can copy/paste (or repeat[R] or Alt-click) a group like this, then repitch it using lock duration, and the beam grouping will be retained.

All these operations are done quicker before slurs are added!
